What are the points of these RC models?
I'm deeply interested in what these RC models, representing something that will eventually carry a human, are accomplishing for the company today. It looks like fundraising at best and at worst, a massive cash burn and/or fraud.
Quad-motor RC piloted software and hardware already exist, so nothing novel here. And from the investigation, they're not collecting any engineering data to help them identify issues and inform them when they've fixed past problems with these flights.... so what is the purpose for these flights?
As a result of the investigation, it looks like they had to solve a crap-ton (technical phrase) of engineering and safety issues that are likely explicit for an unmanned vehicle, which take them no closer to a manned flight.
Once they put a meatbag in this machine, this becomes something wholly different from a regulatory point of view.
