The helicopter market is small, about $30 billion a year sales in the US. GM had $111 billion dollar in sales. Tesla, which is still small, has $12 billion in sales. Total aircraft manufacturing sales in the US is $240 billion. [1] Passenger airlines (like Southwest Airlines, not manufacturing) are at $175 billion in sales, something like air taxis would be very competitive in that market, and probably increase the market too. A consumer market of $175-415 billion (upper end is domestic manufacturing + passenger airlines)[1] is a good place to start a big huge Apple / Uber / Tesla sized company. Those are market caps of $700B / $72B / $50B respectively. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_manufacturer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_manufacturer
