The performance of this aircraft is piss poor. Why compare it to as SR22? Let's try an R22.

R22

  Range 240 miles
  Speed 110 mph
  Price $250k
Cora

  Range 60 miles (1/4 that of the R22, 1/20th of the SR22)
  Speed 93 mph (half that of the SR22)
  Price ???
This thing is a dog. Cool design, I think it has promise, but let's not pretend this is in any way more than a concept being shoehorned into a niche commercial application.
