Four layers of redundancy with four electric motors. Considerable weight saving at the rear, C of G moving forward. More streamlined than current options. Large reduction in maintenance requirements, current systems are complex and heavy.
10-15% Power saving that is now available for lift rather than yaw control.
Well worth more investment and testing.
