    This plane is a piblicity stunt and will never be a viable product (the company itself said it is not meant for commercial production)

    This “jet” has a lower max speed than a Cessna 150, a service ceiling of 2,000 AGL - far less than any commercial aircraft. It weighs 25,000 pounds with no passengers or cargo, almost certainly it’s max weight. They can’t even fit a 2nd pilot

    They do not disclose how much energy was actually used, just a vague “$5” figure and a listed max power of 1MW

    It’s just a marketing ploy and you fell for it
