Congratulations, this is a dream come true! Is there a waiting list for buyers yet?

As a Pittsfield resident, and as a pilot, this is SO EXCITING!!!

Martine is XY.......which is a man. A man cannot become a woman. Stop pretending.

When I turned 14 I was using my lawn mowing money to train for my private with Pauline Glasson . She was a WW2 WAC (women air core ) pilot. She was very old when I first flew with her. Kinda scary for me. She was one of the best pilots I have ever know. She had a real sense of the plane when in flight. It was second nature to her. I received my private and instruments twin rating with her. My Mother was sheriff in that time (1978)n and my GrandMother was an office during WW2. I have a great respect for the Women in my life. In 1986 I had a dead stick on approach with a strong cross wind . I managed to get my 172 down on some grass next to the runway. I didn't have the altitude to get to the runway. Without the training from Mrs Glasson I know I would have been in an even worse situation. She passed away in 2012. I really do mis her. Thanks Pauline.

Nocomm

An oversized drone that can barely hold two people. Charged off dirty coal power plants.

A nice technical acheivement but the thing is just too BIG for a four/five seat payload, no way to be economical.

😀👍

🎉🎉🎉

That reduction in fuel cost is a game changer! Keep it up!

ANTHEM ANTHEM ANTHEM WORKSHOP ANTHEM. Send this video to all those who are going to enter your Workshop and have them sign a form !!!!

A lot of veterans, including myself, hate helicopters. A lot. I mean, hate them. They have killed almost as many as they have saved. BUT, I would deploy in the descendants of this beast. Well done, Gents.

vaporware aptera 3 wheels

Nice job! Great to see this!

absolutely wonderful. Brilliant concept, well executed!

Jerry Ricciotti is awesome!

Great, I’m on a budget, thank goodness this will only cost millions. Ridiculous

Is this new?

Imagine a world in which families are not valued, oh blast almost everywhere

Bravo for making actual crewed flights through transition. Unfortunately rare in this investment environment.

or, yea know, take a plane when you need to go far and take a helicopter when you need to go a short distance? Literally no one needs this.

Really nice to see everything come together!

Congratulations BETA Team!

I've flown this beautiful aircraft many times...Only In virtual X-Plane 12 flight simulator mode! Its a truly amazing design, and fulfils so many desires and requirements for EV VTOL aircraft of the future. The transition from vertical take-off/landing, to normal level flight is very well modelled in X-plane, and shows just how useful the real world aircraft, and its offspring will be in the near future, real world, with so many applications. Watching this video, I am so excited and proud of everyone involved in bringing this amazing aircraft to life and flying it, well done all of you!

Just like flying a giant DJI drone.

I'm surprised that there is a pilot onboard - these things usually seem to be developed as autonomous vehicles, either due to the risk to an occupant or just lack of payload capacity.

Since this design does not have tilting rotors and the propulsion rotor always turns, the video would be so much better with data displays showing the lift rotor lift (or torque, or power), propulsion rotor thrust (or torque, or power), and wing angle of attack. The transition would be shown much better with that sort of information. As it is, the lift rotors just stop and later restart, giving the impression - undoubtedly incorrect - that the transitions are instantaneous.

CONGRATS!!!

Надо пропеллеров больше, тогда грузоподъемность возрастёт!

OK. That's nice. You've just re-invented the Osprey, a 30 year-old technology which the Marines have been using for decades. So what EXACTLY is NEW here??? Where is the breakthrough I don't get it. I'm tired of hype replacing genuine invention. Too much of that in tech these days.

Congrats! Looks very cool, not sure what the use case is but major achievement nevertheless

V-22 already available! Do research on it!

Do a barrel roll!

That was truly a sight to behold. A most memorable R&D milestone to be proud of. Great presentation video, very moving.. Good luck and Godspeed on your future endeavors.🖖

Fantastic!

Looks like the future to me!

Congratulations! Loved sharing this with my science class today! 🚁✈️🎉

Congratulations Beta and Alia!

So incredible, congrats to the Beta team! What a moment!

How's that Vtol when it had to accelerate/decelerate in ground effect?

I love seeing the progress of eVTOL aircraft but seems like they have a long way to go to be practical. This one apparently has the record for range at just over 300 mi and I doubt that is with 45 min reserve as airplanes are usually rated. I fly a Rutan derived canard experimental 4 seat aircraft. It has 1400 mi range @ 200mph with reserve. It gets almost 30 mpg at that speed and cost much less than $100K. I figured if I took the motor out of my Tesla and made it a 2 seat airplane to make room for batteries I would have about 200 mi range without reserve. Batteries have to get an order of magnitude better.

Awesome! So cool to see this flight up close, great video!

Very cool! Well done.

Congrats!

This is a pretty big deal. Joby did it already but the more companies get their eVTOLs doing the full transition cycle the closer we are to clean quiet fast air mobility.

I'm almost in tears, this is so beautiful.

BEAUTIFUL! Well done team. Go BETA!!

Why is there no sound of engines running? :( This is one of the main parameters showing how applicable such devices are in dense urban areas.

Bravo!
