Wouldn't easy solution be to just shut off the motors when unloading and
offloading passengers? Or put them up high like the "flying taxi"

They are off but the walkway is pretty narrow - would yo walk up to the
cabin and get in, knowing that fully charged batteries are connected to
the rotor motors?

And, as you say, why didn't they put the rotors above the cabin like the
volocopter? Apart from anything, that would save wear and abrasion on
motors and rotors when operating from dusty or sandy ground.

I want the inflatable glider suit worn by Kath Two in the final part of
"Seveneves".
