Joby is gonna make such a difference in the world next year
In one of the aeroplane designs the horizontal wings rotates to create lift.
Correction on the Archer Midnight. That's 4 passengers, a pilot, plus 1000lbs of cargo.
May find applications for short haul medical or otherwise, emergency evacuations or deliveries, from isolated spots to where ambulances have road access, or air rescue helicopters can land.
You might be interested in Doroni Aerospace. Located in Florida. Very interesting design and Company plan.
I really need to get one of these before I die
These are amazing baby steps. Like any evolution there will be a proliferation of crazy ideas for a while and the strong will out-compete then progress will move in that direction.
I will only ride in a VTOL if it can glide and land if all the motors fail
good point
It's looking like the winged E/VOTL'S are going to happen first on a large scale, so you'll probably get your wish. Archer, Joby, Lillium and Vertical Airspace are all in the lead.
Can an airplane do that?
@@ramakrishna5480 Yes. They're called "dead-stick landings."
Also, it is a little ridiculous that people somehow think electric motors are somehow less reliable than ICE engines. For example, the electric motor running the compressor in the average refrigerator will run CONTINUOUSLY for a decade without maintenance. The chances of 4 or 6 electric motors, each with their own independent battery, failing is EXTREMELY low. Probably midair collisions due to pilot error are more likely.
That eHang will never go mainstream. One power out and its Bon voyage.
Just require a gas back up .
But if the main electrical system fails, it's over. No wings and no significant idle thrust from those tiny motors. Even with a gas backup, without a core electrical circuit functioning, its Bon voyage to the passengers.
Also with zero control surfaces and no winglets in the event of power outage, another disaster in the making. Helicopters can get away with it, because they have a massive rotor with massive torque, which gives them some thrust momentum and resistance to help slow their descent, however tiny craft like this would have next to no chance of a controlled descent. It would just be a hard crash.
What do you think about it being granted commercial TC? If I lived in China I could fly in one of these now.
wow, 10 years and I have never seen anything like that.
Multi-Trillion from my stand point. Growing every aspect. Multi-trillion, trust and believe. Never wrong.
Maybe in the next video, you can also include Charge Time. While flight time seems important, 20 minutes from one location to the next, then charged does sound promising. However, what is the charge time (down time) between flights? That would be as important here as flight time. So, please, in the next video, include 'down time' in-between flights... this would add substantially to the development and understanding to these eVTOL crafts as they relate advantages and disadvantages in the economy of useability and efficiency: mobility and freedom.
don't believe the 20 minute number until a person gets in one and stays up for 20 minutes on a video. they don't even show 3 full minutes.
I live in Sonoma County CA. 3 miles from Sonoma County Airport. I'm hoping to take a,Joby flight to Tahoe. Go snowboarding all day. Fly back home before sun set.
They now have a nuclear reactor on an IC that will available in the near future..

I enjoy these videos and want to know what "very redundant" means. Is it like "redundant"?
Maybe *multiple* redundancy, e.g., multiple independent failures before a function is lost.
These problems of range and endurance have already been solved in the past with a technology that is cheap and reliable, but unfortunately, its no longer seen as trendy and green. Yep turbo props and jet engines, can do all of this and more and can fly for 1000's of miles. This is just wheel reinvention and they are certainly not green when one takes into account the mining of the raw materials for batteries/ motors and the processing of those materials, which exploit child labour in the Congo and slave labour in China. I find it odd that these well documented facts are simply ignored by the makers and users. But I did enjoy your video.
while turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops are very reliable, they hardly qualify as cheap. at least to me.
Good points, over 50% of cobalt is from Congo. IT is a huge problem!
These are VTOLs, designed to work in urban environments, without runways. They replace helicopters more than they replace planes.
The development is so fast that some of the ones in this video is already obsolete
Very interesting 🧐
Like EVs, all these eVTOLs will face significant range challenges in the winter.
What about the ALIA 250 by BETA Technologies? That's by far the most promising candidate. In its CTOL-version is has already demonstrated 200+ mile flights at 150 mph. BETA is much less pushing the media hype but so much better at delivering (compared to Lilium, Joby or Archer).
the optical array on the drone at the end of the video looks funny, it resembles a 3d emoji that is very surprised
maybe it's looking at the desruction on the war zone
❤❤❤❤❤❤
the sky will be coming down.
.
Archer has the best new model!❤
Parachute. Would give me peace of mind, the day will come with solar panel covered vtols..
EHang 216 😍
That 4 arm version seems very dangerous. If any of the 8 motors fail, there is no glide capability. You are going down!
I'm wondering why there are no electric autogyros?
autogyros cannot do VTOL. it is essentially a plane with rotor. electrify it does not provide much benefit. it still needs a runway for takeoff and landing.
Overcoming the energy density of hydrocarbons is the biggest problem for electric aircraft. The battery technology just isn't there yet.
Electric planes/helicopters/flying vehicles is generally a stupid idea (unless one is talking about unmanned drones for local combat).
Can it AUTOrotate?
What I think? I want to see what a Electric Vtall is Instead of a electric vehicle is.
EVE Embraer ?
Evtol ano na?
#overcrowded road is economic problems a new system must be open
There are really only a handful of evtol designs that my intuition and common sense tell me will emerge as viable. The Lilium jet and the Cavorite X5 are both in that lane. Ultimately, evtol designs must exceed many design requirements, not simply take off and land like RC drones. They must be elegant, safe, quiet, efficient, reliable, etc.--and they must be ALL of those things simultaneously. The sooner designers and engineers get that fact through their heads, the sooner the world will see a true revolution in air mobility.
I would add Ehang toy our list since it was just granted commercial TC
Double decker EVToL.
Most of those open rotor designs like the Midnight are so ridiculously inefficient its pretty hilarious. All those exposed rotors all with engines that draw tons of electricity, something like 12 or more in total. all to lift this large and heavy fuselage that only seats 6 passengers at best. Even if one would account of additional pace when transitioned into forward (airplane) flight, 6 of those engines then power down and those non active rotors create a tremendous amount of drag and turbulent air. How would that feel in forward flight? well.. we know how a plane feels when coming in for its approach with its flaps down. that turbulent air created by the flaps being out of the wings slip stream. well. Midnight as some others propose this for its flight longevity. All just to get the aircraft landing and taking off vertically. wouldve been better off using a single or at best dual rotor layout as those that already exist, because financially your not achieving anything greater with a six passenger payload.
I'm sure that makers like Joby, Archer or Lilium, are going to have to test, re-test their aircraft thoroughly to meet FAA certification !
What else might happen if most of those open rotor designs are so ridiculously inefficient?
The REGENT is not VTOL.
Can't wait until they make mini nuclear power cells
Energy density per volume of lithium batteries is the downfall of electric vehicles. Compacting that much energy into a smaller volume causes any abnormality to become a disaster.
I guess we will find out….let’s see if you are right or wrong. I think personally battery development is much further ahead than you think. Hydrogen has its own inherent problems as well. Proof is in the pudding or shall we say their viability long term.
if they can fly 20 minutes then why don't they ever show a full 3 minute flight? they are scamming.
1. You don't have an Archimedes blade To make it significantly stable.
2. You don't have a pwm generator to keep it in the air for HOURS ON END.
3. You don't have any solar panels to Supply the pwm.
4. You don't have the weight distribution right on that.
Electric is not the answer.
Quel intérêt de développer ce genre d'engins futuristes si l'autonomie sera forcement insuffisante pour une utilisation polyvalente, et comment loger des batteries pour avoir l'autonomie suffisante sans parler du poids 😊
Cost effective still is not a thing.
still lacks practicality.
They all look far, far to complicated, no seasoned aviator would go near them.
Please help me read my posts
1:29, I'm a bore, I'm sorry 🫡
But this is an invention of Soviet citizens. And the Russians have nothing to do with it. Since, Russian(русский), Soviet and Russianin(россиянин) are different concepts, like the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. And it is not necessary to attribute the destroyed property of the Soviet people to the modern, capitalist, tsarist Russian Federation.
The redundant OLD theme about batteries. YEAH! OLD. Ion Sodium Batteries clearly say you reading BS. Time to let go the black gold industry on the past.
#opinions evtvol are eco friendly climate change is gitting over
This AI voice over is so ridiculous. Up down up down... stick with a pitch already!
firstly, electric battery vehicles are useless in terms of cost. the range and flight times are bad enough already, and everyone who who has a battery powered device knows this one fact. after a hundred chargecycles the battery is nowhere near as good as it was new. all these flight times and range given by these companys is for brand new batteries. after a month, you can halve the stated range or flight time, or just ignore this fact and watch them fall out if the sky. hydrogen HHO is the way forward for mankind.
Yeah bro because you’re a pro in this sector please shut up
What might happen if the electric battery vehicles are useless in terms of cost?
@@cameronbateau6510 cars? well every 4 years you can spend 29000 bucks to replace the batteries on your tesla. or just buy another car. ....that will set you back 60 to 80 g , then another 30grand for batteries in 4 years. yep, 4 years is the average time tesla type cars require new batteries. ill stck to the equivalent miles per dollar of petrolium and diesel. les than a quarter the to TOTAL cost to own over 4 years.
They're banking on battery technology improving. There seems to be battery "breakthroughs" every week but no real world changes yet.
The life cycle is a big deal. If batteries with much longer life cycles come onto the market then they could add a hydrogen generator to feed the batteries over long flights. It doesn't even have to be hydrogen.
I agree hho supplement to keep battery charged during flight is ideal...but unfortunately each time one is developed, it mysteriously disappears from history. Such is big oil, nothing is allowed to out do oil powered engines, they're burried b4 they reach market. Oil only tolerates battery production because it's clear it hasn't been competitive yet. There possibly is a battery 100 times better than current tech, but you can bet your life big oil burried it, for now.
I don't trust anything electric flying
