Is this real?

This looks like a bad AI joke.

Yep, click bait…

I hope the OP doesn't take this bad, I'm not trying to offend anyone.

I'm amazed by how "vulnerable" people is to deep fake news, even a very low quality one, like this one, tricks people into thinking that it could be real. Just a few things that stand out on this one:

• The voice, veeery AI style.
• At https://youtu.be/lHIpvC1qEXU?t=68 you can see no strut on the right landing gear.
• https://youtu.be/lHIpvC1qEXU?t=196 the nose landing here is on the tail, lol
• https://youtu.be/lHIpvC1qEXU?t=270 well, when I started the post I hadn't watched this far, but hey, no one who ever learned anything about airplanes can take this as a real airplane cockpit.
• So many other details.

We need to be more vigilant with the information we receive, from the internet as well as from traditional news papers. Use the best judgment, verify, and look for red flags.

Clearly not! The tail is on the wrong way!

Interesting that there must have been ten shots of the interior, yet all were completely different. And one would make a Brit feel very comfortable with right had flight.

What really gave this away as a bad AI video was when the price was mentioned, "Dollar US D nine five oh comma oh oh oh".

Is the sideview mirror only for ground operations?

At least it has a glove compartment.

Not nice at all redbaron1982 (basic member). But thank you for your opinion and the free tutorial.  +1 for being so easily amazed. -3 for being a basic member. My post asking if this is real is highly suggestive that I did not exactly fall for it. Even a simpleton like myself was suspicious of its authenticity. I played the video on my phone while driving between workplaces, so I watched very little of the video. I am also surprised that a fake video would be created on a subject that has such a narrow following.

Check out the planes in the background.

I would assume that it was a generically made video to show future concepts of general aviation and that some guy living in his parents basement decided to add AI narration to it and included the M20. There may be a version for the PA-28 and Bonanza as well.

Absolutely real.

I hope so! Very impressive! My SO will like all the interior options and new chute but I want the electric gear option so I can avoid the Mooney dip.

Everyone has missed the most impressive feature......the advances in asymmetrical propellers.

First there is the "Drooping 2 Blade Prop".  Plenty of slop in the thrust bearings so that the blades can "relax and droop" when sitting idle/shut down?...and maybe they straighten right out when you fire the engine up?  Or  maybe the asymmetry enhances thrust and efficiency with only a small "vibration" penalty.

Then there is the AMAZING "2-Blade prop that looks like it is a 3-Blade" prop.  This one looks really handy for changing the oil.  Removing the lower cowl will be a breeze.   Notice that as a "compromise" the 2 Blades are 145 degrees apart.  I wonder if the 3rd Blade can be re-installed in the field if you need a greater rate of climb....
