Two bits of information
Jim Kagdis, advanced program manager said;
"The T800-powered X2 will fly initially with the tail-mounted propeller installed, but not connected, Kagdis says. The demonstrator will be used as a 'flying wind tunnel' to determine the aerodynamic interaction between the rotor and propulsor. Other areas on interest will include optimization of the rotor shaft angle for performance and blade tip clearance for maneuvers, the company says."
