1/ The rare-earth threat isn't hypothetical — it's China's favorite economic weapon.
2/ They control 90% of global supply and use it as leverage. Against tech. Against defense. Against the future.
3/ Most eVTOL companies gambled everything on batteries and charging networks — both built on rare-earth imports.
4/
$HOVR chose a different path: PT6A engine, hybrid design, no reliance on China's supply chokehold.
5/ Summary: battery-only eVTOLs are CCP‑dependent aircraft.
$HOVR isn’t. And that difference will define who flies — and who waits.
P.S. While Beijing plays geopolitical hardball with minerals, some are still waiting for charging stations.
$HOVR bypassed all that. It's not just air mobility — it's supply chain sovereignty.
