Bar, I wouldn't buy the stocks either, but it's an interesting technology to follow. The proposed business model - VTOL 'taxi service', I don't see being very viable if you can only carry a handful of passengers at a time. They also have to periodically recharge the electric batteries, so lots of downtime, and the cost of these aircraft will be steep. Business-wise, better off just buying a fleet of yellow cabs. But the technology is super cool, so that's the attraction :o)

The 'redundancy' aspect of having so many engines is a huge safety plus, and the lack of vibration eliminates one of the biggest problems with helicopters. My dad was a pilot and an aeronautical engineer, and in the 1980s did some modification work on helicopters. He said he would absolutely never get in one. But these new electric VTOLs eliminate some of the biggest problems.
