I think I made something looking like this in Kerbal Space Program once.

Air taxis are not supposed to fly 523 miles. That's a plane.

Remember this is an early version: they plan to optimize the number of rotors... it's crazy to think but at some point they may be able to get it down to 2!

Oh boy! More venture capitalists pedalling undeliverable shit that will only serve to eat up resources and lobby for more restrictions on RC/FPV enthusiasts!

Go build some fucking rail infrastructure and leave my hobby alone.
