We have a cargo version that will carry up to 450-600lbs and faster than any existing helicopter and way way faster than any e-VTOL

30-40 mile range is perfect for what our customers have asked for.

Just as for $1500 drones we will have a fly by wire system that precludes controlled flight into terrain or other obstacles.

Thank you. We have been working on it for a long time and believe in what we do. VTOL urban mobility will happen!

We think they will. IF we can demonstrate it’s safe. Why not use a Speeder to get somewhere in 1/4 the time

Spot on. Two parachutes for over 150ft. One for Speeder and one for pilot. Under 150ft see earlier answer.

Ballistic parachutes above approx 150ft. Working on two alternative solutions for the “red zone” ie zero - 150 ft. All the eVTOLs makers need to solve same issue and we plan to offer it to them.

Yes no licence needed to fly our ultralight version JB10 and JB11 Jetpacks. Same rules apply to ultralight version of the Speeder.
