I wish him luck. However from past experience, I know that engineer/designers don’t often make the best businessmen.
I can immediately recall two others with a vision, albeit in the motoring world. Most people have heard of John DeLorean. Many in the USA have much more recently heard of Paul Elio, whose vision of an inexpensive niche vehicle has suffered a similar fate. His crowdfunding did little other than pay his salary in real terms. A lot of his hopeful customers paid $1000 for a tee shirt and a bumper sticker.
Then in the aviation world there is Richard Noble....
But whatever happens, I won’t be buying one of these new helicopters. I’m still waiting for my Moller Skycar to be delivered.
And then there's Henry Ford, or Elon Musk. If nobody was prepared to stick their neck out and get criticised by naysayers, we wouldn't even have a horse and cart, let alone something as indescribably unlikely as helicopters.
