I am interested as I drive a Tesla and fly an experimental airplane. My Rutan designed derivative Cozy airplane is four seats and will cruise at 200 mph with over 1200 mile range plus 45 min reserve fuel. At economy cruise it will fly 2200 miles @ 100 mph. It seems the best eVTOL designs that have flown have at best 150 mi. range and that is with no reserve.
What is the best range of any flying design with reserve?
