Interesting.

They're small though, carrying up to 4 passengers, at a range of 60 miles at 150kmh.

They seem more like a glorified helicopter in terms of practicality.

Now if they could fill the 35-50 seat niche which is sorely missing an air frame, then I'd be ecstatic. Canada is a country that really could benefit from a 50 seat aircraft as a lot of regional airports could use frequency, but with planes starting at 75/80 seats they're just too big to justify 3-5 flights a day to smaller centres.
