And they retaliated by just, like, trying to harass us while we were going public.

And so, yeah, it was just a crazy story, getting public.

Ended up getting public, you know, a billion dollars on the balance sheet, and we just started building, like, aircraft.

And started building the service, like, thinking about the app and how you're going to check in and how you're going to build places like real estate to fly into.

It's basically a flying robot.

You have battery systems, electric motors, sensors, embedded software, and control systems.

And basically, the robot you saw this morning, it's a 6,000-pound, four-passenger piloted robot.

And it has 24 degrees of freedom on the system, like wing flaps.

We tilt the front, the leading edge six motors 90 degrees for basically take off vertically and then go into forward flight.

And then all the propellers, fan blades on have variable pitch propellers.

So it's like a highly overactuated system that needs like a really good software.

Like no human can like fly it basically without a really good control software.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#292 Brett Adcock - Shawn Ryan Meets a Humanoid Robot

About a few thousand feet.

So about 2,000 to 3,000 feet above ground level.
