Yup. I had to check to make sure my recollection was correct, but yeah...

The one who was saying:
'Nope. I've seen those tiny little "wings".
They will NOT produce enough lift to drag those 6 engines with those
huge props through the air at the speed needed to provide
lift.'
Just to let you know:
A Cessna 172 has a glide ratio of about 9:1.
The Joby S4's glide ratio is about 12:1.
Unlike you, I'm not afraid to check facts before I post.
