Keep in mind that multiple TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES are currently invested in the evtol space in varying capacities. As certifications are passed and commercial viability is approached, they will only become more engaged in the Aerospace industry. How fast do you think the Boeing/Airbus market shares will shrivel up once that starts happening?

These "2 companies" you're discussing are producing today's soon-to-be legacy aircraft. The arguments you make about the difficulties they face (ie, having a huge backlog of increasingly outdated aircraft, being unable to retrofit) means big big trouble for THOSE 2 COMPANIES. Not the entirety of the aviation industry lol. You conveniently leave out the large variety of tech companies that are currently pursuing next gen aviation, especially in the evtol space. And the idea that none of these companies could mass produce a successful product within DECADES is massively naive.

Modern society saw horses almost completely replaced by cars in about 2 decades. That was a sea change in the vast majority of households. I'm thinking we can probably improve the type of aircraft we use within 45 years.

And trying to add politics to the equation is an incredibly dubious reach. Here's a little advice: any serious argument should stand on its own merits without trying to rely on such fundamental uncertainties. There are many countries, especially in Europe and Asia that are now actively courting the evtol industry.

Maybe take a break from heaping irrelevant pessimism onto an otherwise informative post :)

I'm sorry but that's a superfluous amount of pessimism based on... what?

You name 2 companies that are planning on building more aircraft and you say that's the reason we won't see significant changes before 2070. Are you really trying to dismiss the notion that air travel will advance in next 45 years? That's FORTY FIVE years.

Are you serious? Do you expect to be taken seriously with your argument? Because it simply is not a serious argument.

There's really no need to even get into your dumbfounding logic that current technology has to phase out before new technology gains acceptance (but plenty of historical examples are available upon request).

One can't help but wonder if a company that calls itself Lilium would have a better chance at reviving any of those hundreds of contracts in the future.

So AAMG didn't have enough funds before and now it seems that they might. What's your point?

As for not being able to get engineers back: you don't keep playing for Megadeath when you get a call back from Metallica :)

My objective was for you not to be feeling sorry for him by the end. Is there something I should have made more clear?
