I think I made something looking like this in Kerbal Space Program once.

Air taxis are not supposed to fly 523 miles. That’s a plane.

Nonono that’s an air train.

Oh boy! More venture capitalists pedalling undeliverable shit that will only serve to eat up resources and lobby for more restrictions on RC/FPV enthusiasts!

Go build some fucking rail infrastructure and leave my hobby alone.

Remember this is an early version: they plan to optimize the number of rotors… it’s crazy to think but at some point they may be able to get it down to 2!
