It's a one seater eVTOL lightweight flying machine that can support pilots under 250 pounds and requires a pilot's license.  This is a very different approach to personal air mobility.  Tetra is offering buyers the opportunity to "buy it, build it, fly it". Full Electric, Vertical Takeoff & Landing Flying It has 36 lifting fans, 16 propulsion pods, a front and back wing and a cruise prop. Maximum speed is 100 mph and the range on a charge is 100 miles. The company is considering adding an emergency parachute system. It recently passed a test flight without a problem just outside of San Francisco. Deliveries in 2022 Delivery to customers is projected to be in 2022. They already are taking orders. Interestingly, Tetra has recently received a prestigious award f
