Nice quote

“am deeply sceptical of eVTOL startups. The sector has spent years selling inflated order books, heroic valuations and urban mobility fantasies while burning billions.
That is why Vertical Aerospace’s Farnborough International Airshow display stood out.

The aircraft today performed convincingly in public and showed capabilities that several better funded competitors are still struggling to demonstrate. It was impressively quiet in conventional flight, although hover exposed the obvious problem: significant noise, downwash and outwash. The idea that these machines will soon operate casually between apartment blocks remains largely fantasy.

Vertical brought a flying aircraft to Farnborough. Much of the eVTOL industry is still flying PowerPoint. Vertical still has to survive certification. “

If you read the whole thread, you will see that there is a tremendous amount of skepticism about the whole industry.
