25 mins of flight on a charge, and that’s not going to be at max speed , so we’ll ballpark it to 15 miles of range perhaps and that’s assuming no “traffic” or delays on landing. Not terribly practical like pretty much all of these flying car concepts.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong, you’re likely dead.
No I’ve just been to countries that aren’t stupid enough to have overhead power lines anywhere near residential or commercial properties, even in rural communities. The amount of money you save by being lazy with overhead lines is eaten up by the constant repair and maintenance, and in a competent country, health costs that they inevitably cause.
Underground lines are the only sensible solution. I mean you should be generating power that far from its primary draw anyway.

15 miles by the crow flies is a lot different than 15 miles driving on the ground.
I’m more worried about what happens when one of these contraptions wraps itself around a power line.
Why would they fly into the deep rural country side where power lines exclusively are?
You must be one of those big big city mice.
