The same Ohio river valley where the Wright brothers pioneered human flight will soon manufacture cutting-edge electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

      Do you have any idea how much time and resources it would take to construct high speed rail across the US compared to small local airstrips for VTOLs?

        An order of magnitude less than carrying the same cargo via VTOLs.

          Jesus Christ I don’t even know why I bother arguing with people who will constantly move the goal posts. We aren’t talking about cargo, we are talking about transporting people, fucks sake.

          This place really did take the dumbest of reddit.

        Do you know how much more utility and efficiency actual public transport has?

        Flying is a horrible option for short range public transport.
