Flying Machines & Fool’s Gold

This S4, it carries a pilot and four passengers, can travel a hundred miles on a charge, and reaches two hundred miles an hour. Faster than most of its rivals, like Archer Aviation’s Midnight. Now, Archer’s machine uses separate propellers for liftin’ and cruisin’, which is like tryin’ to run a race with one foot tied to an anchor. Joby’s S4, though, uses tilt-rotor propellers, switchin’ between liftin’ and movin’ like a clever critter. Makes a heap more sense, if you ask me, though it don’t necessarily make it cheaper.
