I dunno George. I think they're amazing, but at least also an order of magnitude larger than what's needed for any possible air-taxi operation.


As far as helicopters being a present-day analog, I'll repeat what I said earlier - they're expensive to operate in terms of power, maintenance complexity and skill level. That's a lot of stuff to be paid for before you get to the payload bit...
