If I had to guess on a timeline that we might have flying cars, I would say about 10 to 15 years out. Um, and I don't think there'll be personal flying cars. There'll be more, um, mid to, to short distance hoppers. So if you wanna go from the, um, airport to your city center, um, that would be a perfect use case or from the ball field, um, to your city center or from your health, from your hospital to, um, an airport or something like that, sort of like mid, um, mid-length and, and what's interesting is they'll fly very similar to helicopters. The main difference is, uh, distributed propulsion. So instead of one propeller going around on top or one or two, you might have four, or you might have six, um, which makes them a little bit more safe in terms of building out redundancies in your system.

And then also electrification. So most helicopters right now are combustion engines, which makes them a little bit louder. Whereas if we can electrify these vehicles, which most designs are doing right now, they'll be a lot more quiet. And if you think of tens or hundreds of aircraft carrying people flying around the noise level becomes very, very important. The more you have, uh, in the airspace. So there's, there's some fun trends driving this, um, whether consumers will adopt this technology or whether they will push back and say, actually, I really like my blue skies. That is still a question that has to be answered.
