@CJHandmer yes, yes! -
@CJHandmer ➱ falcon wing wings -
@CJHandmer also more competition for electric airplane pun names since the Voltair put that charge in the air

@starsandrobots is that actually argument? If we all drove roads would be insane. Mpg would drop like crazy -
@nomadicnerd@starsandrobots not if we had self driving or at least communicating cars -
@octal@starsandrobots but if we had to drive across the country most people just wouldn't. The convenience of time is most of the value -
@nomadicnerd@starsandrobots for 2-6h trips I'd take a private electric RV. For transcon I'd fly. Open up many slots at airports -
@octal@starsandrobots Agreed but that's the same distance hyper loop / high speed train is trying to address. 6 hr driving is 1 hr flight -
@nomadicnerd@starsandrobots hyperloop would be nice but I have very little faith in gov or large works projects, vs incremental private car
