I'm gonna sound like a huge downer, but I actually like MOSAIC.
Couple observations though:
Overall thought: UAS BVR flight is now officially MORE regulated than light sport. Interesting.
The aviation consumer doesn't "pay for safety". They pay for the experience of safety, because they can't possibly make informed decisions about almost anything they're buying. Can they look up the maintenance inspection history of their aircraft? Can they google the bio of their pilot? Of course not. It's why regulations exist, Ayn. We can't all be Russian Superwomen with completely perfect comprehension and knowledge of the world around us, and we don't want to be executed if we're not.
The big, enormous, really huge contribution of distributed propulsion is not redundancy or noise but in lift assist. A fan in front of the airframe is not the optimal place to stick thrust for winged flight. You can do insane stuff putting thrust in weird places, and tiny little fans make that easy.
§ 22.180 is bananas without something like a SDER (software designated engineering rep) or SOMETHING to quantify what the FMU's electronic brain thinks is good control input. I guess that's part of the cert path.
§ 22.185 oh boy more government specs that send you to another spec you have to pay some rando third party to look at. YAAAAAAAAYYYYY
