When you do that, you create a lot of redundancy across the system, so you can build, like, an aircraft with 12 electric motors.

So this is a...

The rotors are underneath.

Are they underneath?

The problem here is you can design it however you want.

You could put a bunch of rotors along the wings.

You can put them laterally across the fuselage.

You can make one big one.

You can make 30 small ones.

So how do you design it?

That's the problem I hit in 2018, was how do you actually do this?

And so it basically was like a crazy man trying to design this algorithm to like, what is the ideal aircraft design?

And then how do I go build it?

So it was actually at a, I was at a Hyatt Regency hotel in Atlanta in 2018.

It was an electric propulsion week-long design course and like aerodynamics course for winged aircraft.

And I met a guy there that was basically in the engineering department at University of Florida.

He was doing his PhD in aerospace.

And I asked him what he was doing there.

And he's like, I'm from University of Florida.

I was like, oh, I went to school there as well.
