      I don’t think so maybe in Dubai

    Not going if it’s Boeing

    Sign me up! Everything looks great except for the charging solution should be NACS. As a pilot who has been flying for decades, I would prefer to ride in this e-vtol rather than a helicopter.

    • @TristenHernandez

      November 23, 2025 at 2:14 pm

      Why? Do you think it will be landing at super chargers to recharge? I’m sure it will eventually be NACS but that isn’t important at all at this junction

    I feel like These have been waiting for “certification” for years and may never get approved.

    • @watchonjar

      a handful of them are close to approval, the problem is it takes a really really long time to get new air craft approved let alone a new type of air craft. The FAA has litterally had to write the approval criteria as these things have been through testing.

    WTF? Humans can’t drive let alone fly!!!

    This is perfect for Charleston, even better if it can land on water

    Gracias por el audio en español es genial ❤

    I don’t want any of these flying Gnats buzzing anywhere near my Neighbourhood.

    I feel like I’m watching a parallel universe where the LA restaurant chain Lemonade started an air taxi run by Google’s Rick Osterloh 😂

    How will AI pilot coordinate with the air traffic control, which is not digitalized and relies entirely on verbal communications over FM radios?

  12. @MyTraveLws

    November 23, 2025 at 12:56 pm

    Electric aviation is the future, and we will see many companies competing.

    “Hasps. Very dangerous. You go first.”

  14. @greid9349

    November 23, 2025 at 1:07 pm

    The aircraft is doing something very “automated and predictable” and a “pre- programmed flight”……until it encounters something not predictable like weather. I’ll pass for now

  15. @akshays2504

    Damn this is gorgeous 🫶🏻

    How much would it take me to work?

    You fly on it first😂

    No. Just no.

  19. @watchonjar

    ngl I trust autonomy more then a pilot

  20. @knightfall6492

    November 23, 2025 at 5:39 pm

    I dont think this is going to take off, too much can go wrong

  21. @pujaballer

    November 23, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    So we’re lacking workers for air, traffic, controllers, and these “self flying” vehicles still need a ground controller? Is this the path the aviation community should be taking?

  22. @nriik4081

    November 23, 2025 at 6:38 pm

    Why not turn existing helicopters into auto pilot aircrafts?? 🤔

  23. @72launchpad

    November 23, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    “Everything is safe” …. Thats what they say about airlines until they go screaming into the ground.

  24. @ryanmakers

    November 23, 2025 at 7:25 pm

    People always fear new technology, but in 10-15 years, we won’t think twice about riding in one of these or purchasing an autonomous car. Especially when we start seeing the end of traffic jams.

  25. @MiKE_CCCLXV

    November 23, 2025 at 8:12 pm

    And if it “accidentally” touches down in the middle of a busy interstate? 🤔

    Corvix token shows real use case depth — not just buzzwords.

  27. @ClassesMoga

    November 24, 2025 at 5:03 am

    AI narratives are heating up again, and Corvix is perfectly positioned.

  28. @FrancescJavier-q9e

    November 24, 2025 at 5:03 am

    Corvix CRV presale phase won’t last forever.

  29. @PreeyaLeblanc

    November 24, 2025 at 5:03 am

    This isn’t just another hype project — CRV Corvix is building real AI integration.

  30. @MichalePrado

    November 24, 2025 at 5:03 am

    The market structure forming around Corvix CRV reminds me of early breakout patterns.

  31. @WhaiMclurg

    November 24, 2025 at 5:03 am

    Corvix token still has plenty of room to grow. 🚀

  32. @WhaiChacon

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    Corvix token has a real shot at becoming a household name in DeFi. 🌟

  33. @BlaiseTomlin

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    The use case of CRV Corvix goes beyond trading — it’s about smarter decentralized tools.

  34. @ErickKraines

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    Corvix token continues to trend on smaller crypto forums.

  35. @FrankumBritton-d5o

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    I think Corvix CRV could set new standards in AI-driven token ecosystems.

  36. @RussPetersen-z7r

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    Long-term thinkers will understand the vision behind Corvix CRV.

  37. @SoshiMyklatun

    November 24, 2025 at 5:04 am

    Corvix presale continues to attract early adopters.

  38. @EstrellaAdela

    November 24, 2025 at 5:05 am

    People will look back at Corvix presale as an obvious buy.

    November 24, 2025 at 9:36 am

    Yep, let it happen. Well done, Whisk, love the whole thing. Nothing to lose, no human error involved. I like the individual emergency exits. Good that AI isnt integrated. Great video.

  42. @M.Busneina

    November 24, 2025 at 11:02 am

    well, using “put you down” was not the best phrase to use here I gues 🤔

  43. @rickypickles5046

    November 24, 2025 at 11:21 am

    First, we already have flying cars. They’re called helicopters. Second, adding a million flying cars would increase the number of deaths from accidents significantly because midair collisions would be far worse than a car crash. Third, the FAA is understaffed as it is. With the coming self-driving car revolution coming soon, flying cars will be unnecessary. Sorry.

    i dont want to die

  45. @CNCHobbyistGregory

    November 24, 2025 at 12:22 pm

    I am ready. It’ll take a while to get used to no pilot. I guess you’ll book a flight. Then walk out and realize this is your plane.

  46. @decide2think

    November 24, 2025 at 1:00 pm

    One major consideration not mentioned was that the electric motors used in this new type helicopter/ plane is quieter than the historical gas driven motor helicopters. True? That will be a significant improvement in flying enjoyment!

  47. @MatrixRoland

    November 24, 2025 at 2:11 pm

    Now you can die alone. No thanks

  48. @jrleon9699

    November 24, 2025 at 5:16 pm

    so elicopters

  49. @YanKostowsky

    November 24, 2025 at 5:40 pm

    She talks about future while living in the past 😂 I wonder if pork can be eaten inside. Would she arouse this guy by showing her hair ?

  50. @ropro9817

    November 24, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    Another stupid tech fad that I hope dies really soon… 😒
