    Lmao, the this is a joke, right?

    Being a mechanic doesn’t make you a pilot or give you any special knowledge about flight systems.

      Thanks for the strawman, it does however give me an idea of the kind of maintenance he’s talking about and why it’s required on larger platforms but not on smaller electric motors like what eVTOL prototypes use.

      People are in here claiming that because larger helicopters need a 30 day inspection that electric motors are going to have the same level of maintenance and servicing requirements. In reality we would probably adapt by creating something in between a private pilots license and whatever certifications ultralight and paramotors enjoy to get off the ground. That would no doubt include training and certification on basic operational maintenance.

        That’s not a strawman. You keep arguing about the mechanics of the craft when that has nothing to do with it. THAT is a strawman. Top it off with guesses without any facts to back it up doesn’t make your argument any better.

        Once again, being a mechanic, doesn’t mean you have any knowledge about flying an aircraft. You’ve made that clear by constantly trying to steer the conversation back to engine parts and maintenance.
