For a man who has an opinion on everything under the sun @elonmusk been conspicuously muted on electrification of flight. But that changed last week. His comments on @heartaerospace were a nice endorsement of @SoraAviation's design of their S4 aircraft.

@elonmusk @heartaerospace Funny you should mention that, @elonmusk

Gimballed motors. Tandem wing. Wing-integrated batteries.

Meet the Sora Aviation S-1.

@hntrbrkmedia @StockJabber I have been a subscriber to the Bear Cave for a long time. Great research!

@oliwalkerjones super interesting if true

@Andercot Nah, I am a Joby retail investor. I have done well. Timeliness have proven to be significantly longer than anticipated, but progress is steady.

@adamgoldstein13 Well, there are more than 30 comments below about merchandise and the jacket. I thought we were in electrical plane business, but I guess I got that wrong.

@oliwalkerjones @tb_travis Agree with the sentiment. You want passionate engineers at the centre and then hopefully they surround themselves with competent professionals bringing the complimentary skills. That’s better than the other way around.

@tb_travis I like the explicit and implicit message implicit in ‘less noise more flying’!

@hanyang_02 Thanks Solanke for pointing that out!

@jobyaviation This is a good first step towards developing a capability that the military is likely to be interested in. It is also an excellent illustration of how fast Joby can experiment, iterate and get new concepts flying really quickly.

[Marcel Smits @MarcelHSmits]

@oranamige I agree! https://t.co/Oi31JwIieB

@tb_travis @oliwalkerjones I was 6:00 am where I live. Sorry. Will be listening in a bit😉

[Marcel Smits @MarcelHSmits]

@jobyaviation Have you already flown tests with a load equivalent to a couple of passengers? In those tests have you executed emergency procedures (eg losing power on a motor)? If not, what is your confidence level you can do it with the current S4?

[Marcel Smits @MarcelHSmits]

@bonnysimi @shigeruishiba Very cool. When are we doing the White House lawn?😀
