electric airplane with ground power

[Tantalum]

Now I've seen it all:

Some of my favorite features (/s)
-when landing vertically it doesn't blow the people on the ground away
-the easy ability to create a massive track system to traverse the country
-works great over thousands of miles of perfectly level ground
-one way only service

**in all seriousness, the author made a nice video, and I like the little preflight touch he did with the wings and control surfaces swiveling. So, kudos to him for that

I clicked on this thinking somebody had to have a good use case that I just wasn’t thinking of.

Apparently not...

Lol, all of the benefits of a train with a whole host of negatives (like efficiency). Who wouldn't invest?!

What happens when the power goes out....

Or if this guy is working....

Imagination is a wonderful thing.
