You beat me to it! Competition is good, but so far none of the various start-ups trying to build aircraft have anything to show (boom, all eVtol companies...).

Edit: Funny, they didn't mention Airbus anywhere. But they do have the perfect founder background, Amazon Air and delivery drones. Sells good with VCs, but so far they have to get real aircraft in the air.

Their YouTube demo shows a full 24hour flight.

They’re the perfect scrappy startup with fast iteration cycles.
