Charles Cormier describes an electric flying car that works like a regular vehicle, no pilot license or airport required. It cuts jet fuel, weight, and noise while opening up personal air travel to more people.
It was more about building what we call a flying car. So a flying car is an analogy that for an aircraft that, like a car, you know, anyone can drive, right? So you don't need a pilot license. You don't need to go through, like, certification, all these things. It's very complicated to. To become an actual pilot today. You don't need, like an airport, you know, cars. Cars can take from anywhere cars. You can start driving a car from your house. So. And flying cars should also just take from anywhere. The other thing was that you don't need jet fuel. Right. Because jet fuel was another huge, superior entry to aviation. Very cost, not widely available. The weight, also. The weight, yeah. And then there was noise. Right. So, you know, airplanes, of course, it's too noisy to be flying around. So we thought a lot of these barriers could be broken by basically building a small electric aircraft, which we really like to call a flying car.
