So finally, somebody told those guys that, if tailwheels have been dropped in favor of tricycle gear sixty years ago, and pusher props have never been installed at wingtips, there may be a reason? Funny to watch all those kids just fresh out of business school, who want to start something "disruptive" and attract investor's money, rush on the new hype of the electric aircraft. A few years ago, that was "urban air mobility". Good, but they should consider involving real engineers at the design stage.
