too bad she doesn't realize that global warming from human CO2 is a hoax, and that electric vehicles are all charged using regular coal or oil. AND the amount of diesel fuel burned to mine the lithium for the batteries that only last 10 years far exceeds anything a gas engine would burn, and that's if CO2 actually mattered in "climate change"

My grandmother was about 10 years old when the Wright bros flew for the first time. She was 70-something when men landed on the moon. No reason we didn't have a similar progress trajectory in the 60 years after that, but we arguably didn't - perhaps there has been almost as much improvement 🤷‍♂ but almost for sure we are back on track now. Your explanations Cleo are both concise and clear and you address the issues without being patronising. Or umming and aahhing, which is *_such_* a big thing in my book. Well done and thank you 😁

unfortunately with the best lithium-ion batteries around you'll on get typically between 10 and 15 minutes flight endurance. Any VTOL is horrifyingly energy hungry. This compares with between 30 and 60 minutes for a conventional plane powered by batteries. The power/energy to weight ratio of lithium-ion simply isn't up to the task. I expect plenty of e-VTOL companies to fold in the next year or two as this insuperable obstacle finally dawns on them.

On a related note, I believe one of the other uses they are looking at is point-to-point organ transplant between hospitals. And a few other things: I work very close to the Burlington airport and I've seen this thing buzzing around a few times. It really is very quiet. Part of the trick is that once it's airborne the vertical rotors shut down and it flies like a normal plane with a single prop at the back. Another thing they're doing that wasn't covered here is making the battery packs hot-swappable. So, they will have a base of operations at the airport, come in for a landing and be able to just swap out the depleted batteries for fully charged ones and then work on recharging the old ones. This allows for fast turn-around times, but from what I understand charging a Lithium-Ion battery is also better for the life of the battery.

I've just recently found your channel and am enjoying to binge all the videos. Also i love the finishing note of this one. It really carried such a hopeful vibe, i smiled at your words ✨

You managed to communicate complex topics like energy density and transport transformation effortlessly, clearly, simply, and you made it fun to boot. This video is a masterclass in communication and also a must-watch for those seeking to understand the revolution currently underway in electric aviation. Thank you for all the work that went into this video - it's outstanding on so many levels.

Great video. You really got a talent for carrying the conversation and engaging the audience. My only complaint is, at the end of the video I was left with a feeling of incompleteness, I was hoping for more info on what the company was planning to do, roadmaps, and some more technical info.

This was such a great video to watch, I can't think of anything to make it better, but then... I feel the same way every time I watch your videos, and you always find the way to top the previous one. Please keep it up, it is refreshing to see such great content!

Your show is filled with so much joy. I love when you are in the middle of filming and you just stop to smile at the camera. You are so ecstatic at sharing this content.

I struggle with a few mental illnesses. I'm currently in a depressive episode. I just wanted to say how much watching these videos help make me feel hopeful. Thank you for that.

IDK how to express how much joy your channel brings me. thank you. you've quite literally gotten me out of some really dark places.

Thanks Cleo, absolutely love your content! Kudos to you for taking so much effort in making such amazing videos, you rock :)

Cleo, I just want to say that I'm amazed at how far you have come too. I've been following your work for about a year before you left Vox, and the content you've been putting out just keeps getting better. I'm learning new things each time. It also gives me hope that the seemingly intractable problems we face today are being chipped away every day by wonderful people and companies like Beta.

I work in and love this industry! Currently at Pyka Aero we’re making and operating autonomous electric crop dusting aircraft which I believe is a perfect stepping stone towards the holy grail of short haul commuter aviation! Thank you for your amazing work!

Always love your videos, the information and the positivities you brought in to it.

Hi Cleo - I love your videos, most of which cover topics with which I only have a cursory familiarity. This one was extra special for me because I am an aviation business owner and a professional pilot, and I know the folks at Beta quite well. You really framed the problem set and potential solutions perfectly. There are a number of companies out there pursuing these kinds of technologies. Many of them are really vapor ware, some get more press than Beta. But I think their approach is right on target and bet they will be among the first to succeed in certifying and bringing an EVTOL to market. This, like all of your content, is fascinating, important stuff. Thanks for doing it and keep up the good work!

Your writing is amazing. You make our ears eat up every word and keep us interested all the way through with your positive energy. Looking forward to your future projects.

Oh man your energy and vibes are the best. Great storytelling

Your videos are always so informative and of such high production. This was one of my fav episodes

I was lucky enough to see this plane in person in Springfield Ohio! It was insane seeing it up close

Cleo your storytelling process is so fun and so engaging. I love your channel!

Planes like the old one you flew in are actually fabric covered metal frames, and I used to do restorations on the fabric. I also worked on engines on similar planes, as well as more modern ones (mostly a lot of oil changes, and disassembling engines for overhaul).

It’s such a delight whenever you upload new videos and shorts. You’re the best journalist on KZread. I find myself caring about every new topics you introduce. Thank you for sharing this gift with the world! ❤

Amazing channel you got here Cleo! Watched one short and now i am binge watching all episodes! 😍

I just love the way you present numbers and why the inventions make sense, unlike other channels who don't know the tech and the efficiency.

I really love your videos and the way you can explain difficult topics to us. Hope one day we can travel in those amazing machines. Good job!

Usually I don’t listen to someone talking about aviation explain aviation but, she seems to grasp a lot of problems that most people don’t understand, good video

600 miles is still a long way to fly in an electic plane. On top of that they become more inefficiënt the longer you go and at some point synthetic or bio-based kerosine will be cheaper than the energy spend on charging and the time lost on the ground waiting to charge. Also for even shorter distances you probably should just take a car or a train. I think batteries have to improve quite a lot for electric planes to become feasible.

honestly I could watch hours of your videos. I LOVE HOW YOU ARE SO EXCITED about everything you say.

Love it. I think we'll be seeing major battery changes in the next few years, there's a lot of different patents and companies bidding to bring new battery tech to the market relatively soon, and some of the new batteries are looking at a 30% improvement (potentially) in gravimetric energy density (so rather than be 34 times heavier for the equivalent power storage, they'll be more like 24 times heavier - which will potentially allow more range).

Another amazing video, keep it up! Love how you point data and information that stays mostly "invisible" ;) to other people.

Each episode is like a movie! keep it up ❤️. Absolutely love your work

This was wonderfully done! Keep up the awesome work!

I live in Vermont and the fact that you actually went to Beta makes me *so happy.* They've been blowing up the local news lately; I love that they're getting wider attention.

I love all the videos that you do. They are so full of educational content and always something new to learn from.

Amazing video as always. Leaving here more educated and more hopeful. Thank you for making, Cleo

Your videos are so great, your way of talking about things, transitionning to another subject so smoothly. Amazing job, loved it!! 100% Watchtime.

High speed rail is also taking out a lot of shorter haul aviation. Look at Europe. For example, as part of its COVID bailout , the French Government ordered Air France to stop competing with SNCF's TGVs and instead just sell seats on those TGVs for domestic travel instead of offering as many domestic flights.

Vermont!....now you're talking. That's my state. Hope you loved it. I first saw the Beta designs at the Vermont Air National Guard open house event 2022. Seems to me the crux in the VTOL air taxi service is that battery energy density (those 2170 form-factor cells) are still sub-optimal by about 130wH/kg. Ideally you'd want to be over 400wH/kg. We're getting closer....

Hey Cleo! I'm a senior aeronautical engineer and have a content idea for you. I would LOVE to see you shine some light on the Otto Aviation Celera (no I don't work for them, I work for Sikorsky). There is a LOT under the surface with this thing, because not only is it incredibly efficient (more on that later) and drastically cheaper to operate, but the size combination with the speed means you could potentially use your local small airports to be able to fly in/out of, so quicker/smaller security. And because of THAT it would be less layovers! Now about that efficiency: all of this is basically enabled by a really beautiful part if aerodynamics known as laminar flow. Lots more to explain there but if we could actually pull of laminar flow production aircraft as they propose it would MASSIVELY impact the way you and I get around. Cheers, let me know if you want to talk about it!

Your video quality is amazing from editing, graphics to the content itself. Keep up the good work. 🙌

Those VTOL planes look awesome! They also look like they're very easy to learn to fly! I took 2 years of flying lessons in a 1969 Piper Cherokee and I just barely got it down at the end. Based on what I've seen in this video, I'm pretty sure I could learn to fly this VTOL in just a month or so. Perhaps VTOL aircraft will become the flying cars we've all been dreaming about since the Jetsons!

Great video! The one bit I’d like to add is that battery density and weight is only part of the equation. The efficiency of electric motors is a huge part of why EVs can travel as far as they do even if batteries don’t contain the same energy density as gasoline. In cars, gasoline engines are only about 36% efficient while electric motors are about 98% efficient. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same sort of ratio were true in airplanes!
