Not such a positive response then. But I'm not surprised. Personally, I think the first 100,000 passengers should look like one of these.



What worries me is that the these things might be accepted because of media pressure, from all quarters. But I'll only get in one once certain things have been put in place. To start with I'd like to see as proper maintenance procedures, repair programmes and qualified engineers in place to look after the physical device. I'd also like be convinced that it will fly through windshear, turbulence, will miss-unexpected obstacles in its path, will divert if necessary, will have battery assurance programme, will deal with engine and prop failures and so on an so forth. I'm not convinced this has been done.

But I predict the first victims will sliced to bits by the props...
