What's the regulatory situation in countries other than the US? Europe, Asia, Canada, Mexico, South America?

It's complicated and unclear, unfortunately. We'll have to see how things unfold when the airplanes are flying.

Might be an idea to spend a little more time on that.

The engineering is not the hard part here.

Without regulatory support and approval you don't have a product or a market, so "Let's worry about that after we get the prototype working" may not be a fully viable strategy.
