@bscholl Absolutely! A 757 “neo” with updated engines, aerodynamic improvements and modernized flight deck & aircraft systems would be a game changer today! Word on the streets is that Boeing junked the jigs so reopening the 757 production line is unrealistic. They would’ve had a winner!

The world would be better off with more 757.

I am honored and humbled to celebrate my 10th year as a Hawaiian Airlines pilot! Working with so many phenomenal humans in our unique global mission to share our spirit of aloha and ho’okipa has been an absolute pleasure, far more fulfilling than I dreamt as a kid. Mahalo HAL 🌺

I’ve wanted the @aptera_motors since 2005! I HIGHLY recommend you push the eMPG efficiency due to the Aptera’s low drag coefficient, just like 20 years ago! That efficiency is what allows the Aptera to be an “off-the-grid” self-sustaining vehicle, a unique classification in the world. 🤓

There are those who doubt change, and then there are those who believe that by fully committing to an idea, they can change the world. We are the latter—that’s the Aptera way. We won’t rest until this vehicle is in your driveway.

Best light global adventure seaplane ever?! That’s exactly what the Vickers Wave is designed to be! By the way, now we can tell you that it’s made to fit 4 adults! 😍

@Aloha_Aviator In New Zealand, girocopters and helicopters are under different classifications. They are classified as microlights, and you can only transfer a relatively small amount of hours across. It seems that it would be good training anyway, but I'll chip away at it in the meantime.

@TamaraH96469072 @amity__lee You’d love it! It’s, by far, one of the best aviation adventure experiences in the world. Just send us a flight request on RotorHawaii.com when you get into town.

@Scotty96791 Coaxial designs are fascinating! Standard helicopter designs lose so much performance to needing an anti-torque rotor and it also becomes a critical component! I hope to see more coaxial a like the Sikorsky X2 & SB-1 one day…

@Aloha_Aviator The Russians have done well with the KA-52 Alligator...it specs out better than an Apache.

Designing, engineering and machining a perfect coaxial rotorhead is akin to creating a work of art. Leave it to a German machining company to master it! Even these carbon fiber rotors belong in a museum! I am so impressed by this little sports car of a helicopter! Say goodbye to tailrotor failures and dangers! Say hello to an agile light helicopter optimized for personal use & training; and it fits in a tall car garage! Excellent work @edmaerotec ! What a day out playing in the CoAX 600 with my buddy Stefan, a former BO-105 commander! Vielen Dank an Anja, Lucielle und Stefan für die Ermöglichung dieser Bewertung! Hier ist der Anfang eines weiteren großen Abenteuers!

@JBrennanmckay Absolutely! If I had known about it I’d get my Private & Commercial Rotorcraft-Gyroplane rating in an AutoGyro. Do all of the requirements then add on your Commercial Rotorcraft-Helicopter rating! Total cost should be about half of doing it all in a heli…

@HeavyMetalShip He takes great pics! I’m not sure the model of his fancy camera but I believe it was set to an f2 aperture.

@LianaSilsby You guessed it! This sporty little bird is relatively short, with lower rotor close enough to give a free haircut, so getting in and out with the rotors stopped is required for safety. But the total safety is enhanced without the need for an anti-torque tail rotor!

@Aloha_Aviator looks pretty cool.. Lightweight ? and responds well .. but.. do you have to duck to get in when rotors are moving !!

@Aloha_Aviator I went to Kauai for a wedding, while I was there I went with friends and took a helicopter tour. No doors 😳 It was the most amazing experience! Miles was our pilot and did an awesome job. 🤗 I got some great pics!
