I'd guess that they're targeting transoceanic freight. A flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles takes ~12 hours, and a cargo ship takes ~30 days. That's a huge gap

I'd guess that they're targeting transoceanic freight. A flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles takes ~12 hours, and a cargo ship takes ~30 days. That's a huge gap that could be filled by an intermediate option.

The basic design can probably work, but it's not clear whether a viable market actually exists. https://www.boundarylayer.tech/ https://www.boundarylayer.tech/
