ChatGPT states the benefits of ultralight helicopters compared to eVTOL

Ultralight helicopters, also known as micro or mini helicopters, are small aircraft that are designed for personal or recreational use. They are typically much lighter and smaller than traditional helicopters, and offer a number of benefits over other types of aircraft, including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles. One of the main benefits of ultralight helicopters is their affordability. Because they are smaller and simpler in design, they tend to be much less expensive to purchase and operate than traditional helicopters or eVTOL vehicles. This makes them a more accessible option for individuals or companies who want to use them for personal or business purposes. In addition to being more affordable, ultralight helicopters are also generally easier to fly and maintain than larger aircraft. They typically have simpler controls and systems, making them more accessible to pilots who are just starting out or who don't have a lot of experience flying. They also ten...

 Personal Air Vehicle by FlyNow Aviation Use case   Our goal is to make 3D mobility affordable for all people. An inner-city flight should cost no more than a normal taxi ride on the same route. We achieve this by breaking completely new ground in production. Our motto is “intelligent simplicity” instead of “stupid complexity.” Our eVTOLs consist of just a few core subsystems: rotors, cabin, batteries and electric motors.  Our Location We have developed a compact design without many connecting parts that could bend or break. And because the drones are particularly lightweight, we need less material and can get by with smaller batteries. This explains the low costs, which in turn enable low prices for end customers. In principle, our aircraft can be used wherever a high level of effort is required to transport goods or people from A to B. The range extends from supplying sailors on container ships, which often do not go ashore at all, to remote alpine huts to bridging a tr...
