Where can I use my Axe?
Because the Axe is a private aircraft, in countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, you are usually allowed to land where the owner of the land gives you permission. This means any landowners can, using a public database, indicate they are happy for Axe owners to land in their field. Just like land owners generate an extra income from making their land available for parking cars near events in the countryside like festivals, they can do that to allow Axe aircraft to land. In this context – the hybrid option where your Axe can have a range extending, lightweight rotary generator, is also relevant – if you land somewhere where there is no charger, you can use your generator which will keep running until the battery is fully charged – ensuring you can land anywhere, and not just where there is a charger.
You will not be allowed to land near large international airports or city centres until regulation and infrastructure surrounding traffic management has matured, although over time it is likely these destinations and will eventually become automated. Through infrastructure providers like Urban Air Ports, it is likely that around cities, you will see ‘Urban Airports’ for EVTOLs to start to appear – where you can park your private EVTOL and switch to a larger commercial air taxi to get you to city centres. Because aircraft and EVTOLs cover much more distance in much less time compared to cars, these “changeover” airfields for EVTOLs will be dotted around city centres in areas where land prices are lower and land is readily available.

They conveniently omitted to say that number of air movements is limited.
As for the genset, why don't make Axe ICE in the first place? And use batteries for climate control while engine is off?

<em>United States, Germany, France, you are usually allowed to land where the owner of the land gives you permission. </em>
USA and UK true, afaik in Germany only emergency response helicopters are allowed to land off airfields, I believe exceptions are seldom if ever granted. Helos are restricted to airfield to airfield flights. In France you need not only landowner's permission but also a "helisurface" permit obtainable with considerable bureaucracy and delay from the local Prefecture (chief of Police).

There is an absolute proliferation of such EV rotorcraft proposals of late. I seem to get almost daily news feeds about them. I wonder which will become production reality?

Unimpressed with the nose-high attitude in the "hover". Right when you need max visibility, you lose it. But if it ever reaches a working prototype, the weight of a passenger might change the attitude.
