Help me put an investor's mind at ease with technical and business risks

I'm an investor with a decent chunk of my portfolio invested in HOVR and somewhat new to pre-revenue companies

Technical risk

Is there a significant risk in building an aircraft with fan-in-wings desing? I have no idea what an aircraft wing looks like inside but if it has a bunch of holes cut out with non-structural elements like fans placed in them, would it not simply snap? Is this idea too outlandish?

Business/investment risk

How do valuations work with such companies? When do such companies typically generate revenue? Do companies sign up only after certification which is expected in 2030s or is a working full-scale model enough? I'm worried if I invested too early

eVTOL industry is pivoting to HYBRID

Saw this over at poweredlift forum. New charging infrastructure and limited range for the evtol vehicle are emerging as sticky points for the first generation eVTOL's.

HOVR's X7 is clearly a step ahead of the industry at the moment.

HOVR

DICUSSION

So been hearing so many rumblings and questions with people who have no idea what the hell is even going on….
I conducted extensive research on the various systems within the EVTOL landscape and ultimately chose this particular model because I can envision myself using it. It appears to be the safest option, constructed with high-quality components and supported by a dedicated team. Many EVTOL companies seem to be hastily entering the market with profit as their primary motive. In contrast, Horizon is committed to developing a product that prioritizes quality and maintains transparency with its investors. My personal conversation with Brandon further solidified my confidence in the company, as he demonstrated genuine enthusiasm and professionalism. This is my perspective on the matter.

Concern with aircraft from an engineering perspective

I’ve seen some discussion about the Cavorite X7 potentially being useful for firefighting missions, but I have a technical question.
During wildfire operations, aircraft often have to fly through smoke containing soot, carbon particles, ash, and other debris. Wouldn’t ingesting these particles into the engine(s), cooling systems, or lift fans potentially cause problems over time?

What do you think are our paths to commercialization?

I snagged my first shares today , mainly to keep track of the company while they work toward their first model testing in 6-9 months ~

I mainly like the tech and the CEO , I guess you could say I prefer to bet on jockey > the horse 😆. But what realistic applications do you think this will be marketed towards?

Also, my business is involved in wildland firefighting and I personally do over 600 individual flights per year on average, I could see this being incredible for my industry
