Speaking as a meteorologist, weather will constrain flight OPS on occasion. Rains, high winds, vertical wind shear, icing, and lightening strikes come to mind. VTOL near rooftop heliports can be especially dangerous (limited hover time and obstructions). Short flight times, near real-time weather radar, and highly accurate WX forecasts serve to mitigate these risks. But it's likely some special instrumentation and procedures will be needed at some heliports (FAA Certification?) Also flying is uncomfortable and scary for some who avoid small aircraft travel like the plague. Believe e-VTOL market way overstated by most. Yet love the cool factor and these guys deserve my support so investing some coin at present. What's to say, a fool and his money are soon parted.
eVTOL is a neat concept, bit expensive to operate in reality; will need a PPL Instrument to fly in all weather conditions and an A&P license to do BPO/Pre inspection and maintenance.
I want to see a factory tour at BETA in VT! I think they are further along in the process than most EVTOL companies. You might even get a ride in the fixed wing version.
I am an Archer investor from Turkiye since 2023 almost 1,5 year. I admire how you are capable of eVTOL techonology and proud to be your Invsestor.All the Best wishes.
I would like to know if all these new products are serviceable or they are all throw away at failure. Is everything potted into the airframe, for example?
This was interesting, but clearly about trying to attract more investors. The reality is this is a couple of decades out for mass adoption. If just 20% of US traffic would go VTOL, the skies would get very crowded and likely annoying most citizens. I will hope AI pilots, safety systems, etc, will prevent most accidents. It will take on serious accident, like crashing into a school, and the industry will find it even harder to reach mass acceptance. No doubt, the first few consumer versions will be for the wealthy the way private helicopters are today. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but investors should be very cautious about any VTOL company.
Elon should have bought Archer or partnered 2022, I said... few listen. Also their competition over the ocean is now approved for human use, also firefighting. Studied these for 4 years now.
Most have no idea how many flying human taxis we will have 2030... globally. It is already being done in many asian countries, I wont name the company because I want archer to catch up.
MUNRO live - Sandy , at end of the day e-VTOL has no legs. only a very FEW are doing it. Doing e-VTOL right is very EXPENSIVE and does NOT scale well. THINK about , why in 2024 we dont have PUBLIC Commerical heliports on top of Buildings anymore ? (1970's). very EXPENSIVE to operate & maintain. Expensive COST to customer. Helicopters & e-VTOL cannot operate in BAD weather, high winds, heavy RAIN, Whiteout SNOW. currently LESS convenient than taking BUS, Uber, Taxi. landing pads HAVE TO be away from People & WONT be allowed to Fly above HOMES & City.

Terrific job Sandy! Amazing next level for the industry
👋 SANDY,TOM, HEATH AND THANKS TO THE MUNRO TEAM 🤗 FOR SHARING THE FUTURE WITH US 😎💚💚💚
Thanks for watching!

Great video.
In 10-15 years, when full self driving and flight will be 100 waterproof, we'll have this industry taking over.
Just how loud are these going to be? Curious in real world scenarios.
One company has made them quieter than helicopters using a niche blade design.
1st gen is loud, 2nd gen is better than helicopter decibel... I have studied these and reported for years in (communityposts)
VERY loud , like overweight Hummingbird.
@markplot4820 wrong! Quieter than a blow dryer. Almost unnoticeable across other city noise
@JohnnyFive626 - most city will BAN all e- VTOL........lol

Who's here because they are invested???
Nice 🤩
Thanks 🤗
How is this going to handle crosswinds And gusts ?
Why is the battery reject drawer password protected?

This was paid advert right? :)
Nope
Even if it is paid advert what's the issue?

@dertythegrower I watch electric aviation channel, there are lots of atartups but as usual not all will make it.
NOPE , Archer & others will FAIL at e-VTOL , just as PUBLIC helicopters FAILED in 1970's .

Ok smartass
ha ha ha ha , another PUFF piece by MUNRO.
MUNRO dosent know HISTORY of Helicopters on Buildings & WHY they FAILED in the 1970's .
