Interesting that top rotor diam is now smaller than lower rotor.

Unfortunately, the Coaxial configuration does not have true laterally symmetry. This difference in rotor diameters will move the craft even further from symmetry.

Eagle Aviation Technologies is providing the rotor blades for the X2. As I recall, the CEO of Eagle Aviation, Emitt Wallace, was involved with the coaxial Air Scooter.
