It&amp;#x27;s looking into a version for eVTOL air taxis by 2026, and hoping to have a system relevant to commercial airliners by 2030. Godspeed, team, the world&amp;#x27;s airline passengers – not to mention cleaning crews – need you to succeed.&lt;p&gt;They are not targeting airliners for the current generation.</text></comment>

Some quick googling reveals it as a Colomban MC-30 Luciole [1], which according to Wikipedia [2] has a cruise speed of 110 mph and a maximum speed of 120 mph. Mounting the long instrument arm to the tiny aircraft probably doesn&amp;#x27;t do it any favors (seriously, the aircraft looks tiny next to a Cessna), so cruising at 60mph sounds reasonable.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.wildbergair.com&amp;#x2F;registrations&amp;#x2F;C&amp;#x2F;OE-CRG_1_01.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.wildbergair.com&amp;#x2F;registrations&amp;#x2F;C&amp;#x2F;OE-CRG_1_01.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Colomban_MC-30_Luciole&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Colomban_MC-30_Luciole&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
