I could not agree with you more.

I also think the alleged market for 1,000+ Eclipse air taxis is utterly
unrealistic. I do not believe the market exists for anywhere near that
many air taxis within the range and payload capabilities of the Eclipse
and given what will be the eventual costs.

I agree. The claims of orders for hundreds or thousands of Eclipses are
crazy. These proposed air taxi companies don't have any meaningful
assets. How are they going to buy a billion dollars worth of airplanes?

Venture capital, just like all the other companies that have shakey
business plans.

The largest venture deal was only 500MM. These air taxi companies are going
to have to demonstrate that the business model works before they get enough
money to buy the airplanes they have ordered.
