What a scam
Abandondero@reddit
Does it still fly with the weight of a passenger inside?

No.
And you shouldnt expect it to.
Its propulsion system has similar cross sectional area to VTOl jets, so the efficiency will be in that ballpark not in the helicopter region.
And unlike jets, ths thing has piss poor power to weight ratio.

How did you k lie this was a failure from the start many people are just now realizing that all they have to show for after 10 years and 1.5 billion dollars is a mockup that they showed off at Farmborough
