One of the problems with a rigid and costly certification process is lock-in of outdated tech. In this case, this airtaxi company has to use Molicel P45B battery cells, which will be nearly 10 year old technology by the time they fly passengers.

People called us crazy for building our own engine. I was nervous, but it's turned out to be the best thing we ever did. Enables: Boomless cruise, a radically more spacious Overture interior, and now the 42MW Superpower turbine—which makes the rest financially feasible

Starlink is providing Internet connectivity to schools and hospitals in Africa that had nothing or very expensive and bad connectivity before. This will do more to lift people out of poverty than all the NGOs combined.
