Porsche And Boeing  Announce Partnership Tp Develop Premium Urban Air Travel
Porsche and Boeing have officially announced a new partnership where the two companies will collaborate to begin researching and developing flying cars in a “Memorandum of Understanding.” Both parties will now begin exploring the possibility of offering premium, fast air travel to expectedly affluent customers.

Few explicit details were shared in terms of what Porsche and Boeing will be working to create. However, it was noted that the agreement also involves Porsche and Boeing’s subsidiary, Aurora Flight Sciences, who will reportedly work on all-electric VTOL, or “vertical takeoff and landing” vehicles.

I seem to recall a post a few months back about electric propulsion in aviation being a dead end-- something about energy stores relative to weight and continuous power requirements being much greater to keep a plane moving against wind resistance at hundreds of mph, compared with a car at 65mpg. Imagine how much electricity it takes to spin a large bladed fan fast enough to enable VTOL. It can't use a jet because that requires fuel...

Electric motors are far more efficient at high altitudes. It will be some time before we see commercial electric planes. These VTOL "cars" will be pretty slow and short range compared to an actual plane, yet still cost less to fly and maintain than if they used an ICE.

These compete more with a helicopter than a plane.
