They Laughed At Electric Cars Too
For sixty years the FAA treated every new aircraft like a potential disaster.
A decade to approve... Billions to certify.
So flying cars stayed on the drawing board.
Then technology caught up.
Twenty years ago a dashboard was a wall of buttons — Tesla reduced it to a wheel and a screen.
The same thing just happened to the cockpit.
And recently, the FAA passed MOSAIC — the biggest change to small aircraft rules in 20 years.
For the first time ever, two-seat electric aircraft that lift straight off the ground can be approved through a fast lane
The door just opened.
Now think back fifteen years.
Electric cars were a punchline.
"Nobody will ever drive one."
"The batteries won't last."
"It's a toy for rich people."
Today they're on every street in America.
The investors who ignored the laughter weren't betting on the world as it was....
They were betting on what it was about to become.
