This battle was already proven and lost 60 years ago but youre young and think this is all new

ENTER ROTODYNE
The rotodyne was a "helicopter transport bus" it actually existed and flew around Chicago in the 50s. Guess what, despite actually working and even being faster it lost out hard and failed.

Why?
Because stuff that flys is really really really expensive compared to stuff thats on the ground.

You know why humans cant fly with flaps on their arms like birds? Because we would litterally have to be 300 times stronger than we are because lift and thrust, no matter what. Requires immense energy, this is why it will almost never be used for serious cargo.

SEE FOR YOURSELF
>go to FedEx or UPS website
>compare the "air shipping rates" to "3 day ground" there litterally 5-50 times more expensive.
