Are we talking about eVTOL aviation technology in general or this specific airframe and idea? I'm not claiming this specific design is good or the use case is where we should be spending our R&D time on this tech.

What I am saying is that 90% of the responses in here amount to "this is dumb because rich people will use it, build trains." If that's the best we can't expect from the dedicated technology community on this website it's going to go nowhere fast.
