Well they say the motor weighs 70 pounds and produces 248 HP but I can't
find anything about the weight of the batteries.


Total weight is indicated as ~2,400 lbs (including air conditioning).
Given its 1:10 power to weight ratio, I'd say, if it had wings instead
of the beefy structure it requires to meet road safety standards, it
would fly. It wouldn't require any fuel. Recharges fully in 3.5
hours. I wonder if noise attenuating headsets would be necessary.
