Scott Manley is someone who fell into YouTube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching. I used to do this as a hobby, along with my day job in software development, but that recently came to an end and I'm really appreciating everyone who has chosen to support my work through Patreon.

Video Description
Archer Aviation is currently developing and testing the Midnight EVTOL, an electrically powered aircraft using 12 rotors which can operate out of helipads and rapidly carry passengers to destinations around a metropolitan area in a similar fashion to Helicopters but quieter, cleaner and easier to fly. I visited their facility in San Jose, California, where they designed and build their engines, batteries and avionics. I got a tour from Archer's CTO, Tom Muniz who gave me a great deep dive on the high performance engines and batteries. And of course, I just *had* to fly the simulator.
