Doubtful in a conventional sense as the HX is a very different investment type and overall project.

Where the Lilium and similar efforts have fell short has more to do with investment source and design. But while I’m sure there were a few “scams” out of the 100+ eVTOL start-ups a majority of the projects are/were an honest attempt to participate in the industry's next growth area: e-aviation. Like it or not its here to stay and if it follows the growth cycle of the civilian UAS market, it will be here sooner than later.
