Lyrebird will offer an API to copy the voice of anyone. It will need as little as one minute of audio recording of a speaker to compute a unique key defining her/his voice. This key will then allow to generate anything from its corresponding voice.

- You need a certain type of voice to be able to man these intercom calls on these aeronautical adventures. Like the spacex, nasa and pilot videos.shapesalad

- Funny story, I was actually interviewed to be their senior art director years ago, cos their head office is here in Munich.Continuity
- i wonder what the redundancy is for engine failure. how many need to go out for it to not sustain altitude.shapesalad
- If it's in VTOL configuration, it only needs enough engines running to provide a landing the occupants can walk away from.Nairn
- If it's in flight configuration, I imagine it has pretty much the same failure mode as something like a Cessna. Perhaps a bit clumsier, with the thicker wings.Nairn
- I'd imagine there's at least two independent systems, running half a wing each.Nairn
- The thing about small electric motors is that they're massively controllable/ 'throttable' so a multitude can 'easily' account for individual/local failures.Nairn
- It's got at least 34 individual engines, so there's a lot of scope for redundancy.Nairn
- *'throttleable', apparently. There's a once-in- a-lifetime word I'll never use again.Nairn
- @Continuity - an interesting gig! Might've got quite dull though. I can't see a helluva lot of variety in a job like that.Nairn
