United Airlines and Archer Announce First Commercial Electric Air Taxi Route in Chicago

 

Archer Aviation Inc. and United Airlines today announced plans to launch the first air taxi route in Chicago, between O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Vertiport Chicago. Vertiport Chicago, North America’s largest vertical aircraft takeoff and landing facility, is located in the Illinois Medical District near the Chicago Loop. This site was selected as the takeoff and landing site for this airport to city center route because of its unparalleled convenience, access and service. From there, passengers will be able to travel to and from ORD via Archer’s Midnight aircraft in approximately 10 minutes. A similar trip by car can take upwards of an hour or more during rush hour traffic.

There’s a lot of BLAH BLAH BLAH about “CARBON” in the press release.

“CARBON” is not a reason to put a product on the market.

“Is there a market for the product and will it be profitable?”

I don’t doubt that here may be coal powered battery operated helicopters, but I don’t think it will be by 2025 or that it will be profitable.

This One Needs To Be Fired……..

Teacher arrested by police in riot gear over wrongful sex abuse claim by student is awarded $5m

A case from 5 years ago.

A former student claimed that a teacher sexually assaulted him.

Louden County Deputy Peter Roque does an overnight tactical raid and arrested the teacher.

Charges were dismissed several months later due to the fact that there was no evidence and Deputy Peter Roque kinda didn’t really seem to have done any investigation into the allegations.

Just a couple of big questions:

Did this guy have any supervision?

His boss didn’t review his work?

What evidence did the deputy present to the court to get an arrest warrant?

How did the prosecution not dismiss this (sans evidence) 5 minutes after they saw it?

 

Yeah, this guy screwed his pooch, the neighbor’s pooch, all the pooches in town and two towns over and should be fire.

This is beyond a simple mistake or even gross incompetence.

Please….

Don’t post a reply if it’s just cop bashing.  I won’t approve it.

This is about a single officer and one event.
