Then you also need to design it to be mass manufactured.
I think there is an opportunity with MOSAIC to build a $50k airplane that goes totally mainstream.
Other people who are thinking along similar lines, assemble.

The second thing required is market scale. You need simplified flight controls (allowed by MOSAIC) to expand the market for personal aviation so that new people enter the market so that you can sell many units and get economies of scale in manufacturing.

For one, type certification needs to go afuera. This is already happening with the MOSAIC rule for aircraft that qualify for that (basically, have a low clean stall speed).

A Honda Civic EX costs $27k and weighs 1,650 kg, for $20/kg.
An airplane is not more complex than a car, but it costs 40x as much per kg. What would it take to build an airplane for $25/kg?

With some battery innovation, autonomy, and the new eVTOL designs, grueling all-day drives could be a thing of the past.
