Looks good. They seem to be pretty cheap, and with a low operating cost, would be quite appealing even for private fliers. A rental service for these would be amazing. Plenty of people would rent it out for fun, unique day trips that would hopefully only be a couple times more expensive than a car, albeit with stricter licensing requirements.

FWIW, you can rent a Cessna 172 for less than $200 per hour, and take it in a trip where you agree to fly at least say one or two hours per day, depending on location and season etc.

So, that’s only a few times more expensive than a car, and quite a bit more fun.
