Kenn RicciGUEST
But there was a lot of stuff that wasn't there that's been there in the past.
Preston HollandHOST
I tell you what, the eVTOL spent some money on some booths in the past.
Preston HollandHOST
I mean, I remember a couple of years ago, there was one that had like 360 LED walls and it basically felt like you were walking into a club, not a eVTOL booth.
Kenn RicciGUEST
Yeah, well, maybe they should have gone into club business.
Preston HollandHOST
Yeah,
Jessie NaorHOST
Well, the economics of it at this point just aren't making sense.
Jessie NaorHOST
I mean, I'm for helicopter girl.
Jessie NaorHOST
You know, you're going to spend more money on the eVTOL than you are a gas-burning helicopter.
Austin HankwitzHOST
Couldn't have said it better myself, Robert.
Austin HankwitzHOST
Don't forget, if you're watching this and it's not yet 9 a.m., go hang out with us at the Albert Whitted Airport with Joby as we watch them fly an Evitol across the Tampa Bay.
Austin HankwitzHOST
We are so excited to be hosting that event with them.
Austin HankwitzHOST
It's going to be a good time.
Louis Saint-CyrGUEST
Not the VTOL.
Louis Saint-CyrGUEST
Yeah, we have an option to move to the eVTOL, right? And so I'll tell you, Shashank, the thing that I worry about is that we ordered, to use an airline example, that we ordered a bunch of A340s, okay? And then five years later, we need to change to the A330s, okay?
Shashank NigamHOST
Hey, that's still a good issue.
Shashank NigamHOST
I think you've got this solved.
Shashank NigamHOST
And I think you've got your bases covered here.
Louis Saint-CyrGUEST
Right, we do.
Louis Saint-CyrGUEST
But I think the eVTOL is going to open up the markets even more.
Louis Saint-CyrGUEST
And in Hawaii, it's going to be really important.
Austin HankwitzHOST
I'm excited, Robert, because Joby is going to be doing demonstrations with their electric air taxis, flying it in all of them across Tampa Bay.
Austin HankwitzHOST
We always talk about how cool the tech is of these eVTOLs.
Austin HankwitzHOST
And we've had Joby executives even on this podcast a handful of times in the past.
Austin HankwitzHOST
So this is going to be a really cool chance to hang out with them in person, see the really cool eVTOLs, as well as maybe get to climb into an air taxi.
Austin HankwitzHOST
Maybe we're going to watch Robert fly an air taxi across Tampa Bay.
Austin HankwitzHOST
Who knows? So again here, if you're in St.
Tim RobinsonHOST
And this episode, we're looking at what we've got upcoming in the latest issue of Aerospace, November 2026.
Tim RobinsonHOST
We cover everything from GA to spaceflight to airliners to airports, from air law to eVTOLs.
Tim RobinsonHOST
This edition, though, is a little bit special.
Tim RobinsonHOST
We'll get to it in a bit.
Max FlightHOST
Jet fuel prices affect airline profitability and ticket prices.
Max FlightHOST
The FAA issued a special airworthiness certificate to Beta Technologies for the A-250 electric eVTOL aircraft.
Max FlightHOST
The ex-Howard Hughes B-23 Dragon flies again after 35 years.
Max FlightHOST
And U.S. air traffic controllers finally get a pay raise.
31 MINS LATER
Rob MarkPANELIST
You know, I can look it up while we're doing it here.
Max FlightHOST
All right, moving on to, well, to AvWeb.
Max FlightHOST
FAA clears Beta's eVTOL for demonstration flights.
Max FlightHOST
The FAA has issued, I guess this is a first of its kind, Special Airworthiness Market Survey Certificate to Beta Technologies.
Randall MizeGUEST
right? It's like, oh, this is actually evolutionary.
Preston HollandHOST
And They're not trying to claim like dark in the sky with these or like, you know, like I think that the claims of eVTOLs, while cool and I can imagine myself being in an eVTOL, it would be fun.
Preston HollandHOST
There's just like, it's so far away where it's like, oh, we're going to use proven technology that exists and works and we're going to change the game with that.
Preston HollandHOST
Like that's, you know, pretty
Eric BidingerGUEST
It's just very, and not only are there not a lot, but the number is shrinking and new entrants are almost, you know, it just doesn't exist.
Eric BidingerGUEST
I should caveat that.
Eric BidingerGUEST
Obviously, over the last five years, there's been this massive push into eVTOLs.
Eric BidingerGUEST
So in entirely new categories of aircraft, you have a lot of players there.
Eric BidingerGUEST
There's almost 200 projects worldwide that are addressing that market.
Pari SinghGUEST
In mining, they're innovating.
Pari SinghGUEST
In eVTOL, in SMRs, in drones.
Pari SinghGUEST
You take any major industry, and the Chinese are doing a fantastic job on the core innovation.
Brett StapperHOST
When you just think about crossing the chasm, it sounds like you're already well crossed it, or how do you think about it? It's probably fair to say we are well crossed

Rafa Gerard, a senior mechanical engineering major, will do so as well.
Rafa GerardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Us students having the chance to get hands-on use with it here gives us that advantage when we go to those companies to inquire about internships or job opportunities, saying that we've worked on eVTOLs before.
Rafa GerardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's a huge opportunity.

Astro's home base will be the university police department, but Chief Murray expects to see the technology take...
