Thinking out loud here. We're now in the third "era" of #eVTOL development.
The first was pre-path-to-market tinkering, with visionary engineers at Zee, Joby, Kitty Hawk and a few other outfits working to bring early-stage electric VTOL to life.
The second era began when Uber Elevate launched, formalizing the nascent industry and presenting a clear vision of vehicle requirements and a conceptual path to profitable application.
This began the #eVTOL climb up the hype cycle in earnest & drove billions of investment.
