Tail rotor geometry and speeds are all set now, but we are considering a few different tip designs to finalize as we flight test.
no tethered flights as that’s very dangerous.
we will do a round of restrained ground testing prior to first flight, but it will be fully anchored down to the ground. Plan is to go to ground testing late next year.
