    I searched and did not see anything about this interesting VTOL 18-rotor electric aircraft.

    One problem I see with this new aviation platform is icing. It's a problem for any aircraft. The new designs have so many protrusions and moving parts that it would be very difficult to keep them ice free.

    If they can't fly in all weather, they can't be air taxis. Is there a market for a fair weather only curiosity?
