Exclusive Interview: Eviation’s Co-Founder And CEO Omer Bar-Yohay
The title of this post, is the same as that as this article on Helicopter Investor.
As the title says, it is an interview about the Eviation Alice, with the CEO of the company behind the project.
It contains some interesting answers.
The Market
Omer Bar-Yohay made these points.
- The US, where 70 percent of General Aviation happens.
- Some interest from regional operators struggling with low margins. Have Eviation got the performance, range and capacity, in line with what regional operators can afford?
- They were surprised to see the size of interest from freight operators.
Later he says that the current version can handle 2,400 pounds of freight, which is just over a tonne.
What is the value of a tonne of small packets, specialist seafood, agricultural product or medical supplies?
Autonomous Flight
The regulators or the market are not ready for it.
VTOL
There are a lot of other players , ideas and money looking at this.
Focused
Eviation Air seem to be very much focused on getting their plane in the air and to market.
Conclusion
If nothing else, Eviation Air seem to be a professional company and they have carefully researched what their unusual plane can and will do.
Transport is liberally sprinkled with odd ball ideas, that took advantage of radical thinking to create world beating products.
Consider the De Havilland Mosquito, Douglas Skyhawk, Hawker-Siddeley Harrier and Issigonis’s Mini.
There are also several absolute duds around, because companies got the technology wrong.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
