"could start operations from boutique hubs across Florida in coming years"

• Right after we get cold fusion

"uses 10% of the energy of multi-rotor drones used in helicopter technology"

• Not even sure what this exactly means, except it is implying that it needs only 10% of the energy per pound of thrust that currently exists.

"powered by 36 jet engines"

• What is shown is a mock up with electric ducted fans

I've heard this is to be code named "Raptor"

It's this, but from another maker:

They have been doing flights with the 5 seat version since 2019, but I don't believe a range of 300km is realistic with current battery technology. Same problem all these concepts have. Not sure about the 10%, but will probably be more efficient than the typical rotor designs as it will get lift from the wings in cruise.

Yes .... the topic of their fabulous airports is inserted and promoted in order to take the focus away from the "electric jet" that has no practical chance of success.

But hey .... look at the millions they will raise .... which is the main game they play.
