How electric planes are changing flight

Using off the shelf batteries is actually a big deal…
So many startups and companies make promises that require a ton of research and development of proprietary technology in order to deliver on their promises.. R&D is hella expensive, proprietary tech requires having everything built to spec and made to order which is crazy expensive.. 
showing that you can make something work with what you already have available is a huge deal!

Look at “Meta” and the Metaverse mess.. 15b dollars to develop some nonsense without legs, because they couldn’t and wouldn’t make it work on existing technology.. but small groups like Corridor Digital made a fully functional digital production studio with very little money using existing technology, such as unreal engine and motion capture. They’re doing cutting edge Hollywood level effects as promised because they used what they had! 

That’s the difference. 
Spend a crap ton on empty promises or deliver by working within the system.

Every startup wants to change the world but none of them want to adapt to it in order to do it…
