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.
