An interesting observation in the video is that all fan blades can be steered independently.

In forward flight the wing wake on the rotor could cause serious noise / vibrations. Ref. the Piaggo's..

If you can adjust the blade angle the moment it hits the wake, maybe it could be reduced. Even aircraft pitch could be done without elevators. Kind of thrust vectoring by steering the fan blades independently..
