• David King is the chief engineer at Vertical Aerospace, which is developing an eVTOL.
• The aircraft is an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft intended to work like a flying taxi.
• King spoke to Business Insider at July's Farnborough Airshow, where Vertical's VX4 prototype performed a transition flight.
• He said young engineers should put "guardrails" around testing so that they can learn safely, but move quickly enough to avoid becoming stuck trying to make a model perfect before testing it.
