There is a business use case here in NYC. NYC to the Hamptons or out east long Island. The locals in the Hamptons are complaining about noise pollution from helicopters making trips to the Hamptons from NYC. If this makes little or no noise the current helicopter service companies will use them and people will pay $800 ( off-peak) - $2,500 ( peak) one way trip from the west side of manhattan / Chelsea area to east Hampton / Montauk . If you got the money that is :-)
- coldcode 5y agoI can see it replacing helo service, presuming it can take off anywhere. As a general replacement for cars, no.
- ryanlol 5y agoPerhaps the more interesting question is whether or not it can extend helo service.
