@rrhoover this feels inevitable for me. At least 5+ companies working on electric Helicopters for transport. Electric power will vastly reduce noise pollution. 4+ rotors on most architectures increases redundancy and safety vs single point of failure on standard helis. Pumped for this!
I'd be interested to know what the energy density of its batteries are relative to standard fuel. Uber's Elevate paper outlines that challenge and I know the startups working on UAVs for freight are constrained from going full-electric by battery tech.
