your next ultralight...?
Does it 'glide', or 'auto-rotate' in the event of battery/electrical/fan, failure......??
Or, does it drop like the proverbial streamlined brick when those tiny little fans stop.. For what ever reason...??
(Serious question, by the way...)
Cheers

I'd say the biggest problem for something like this is indeed redundancy, when you run out of juice for some reason what happens then? You can't deadstick glide or auto-rotate it as it has no moving control surfaces, it looks like it moves by changing the speeds of the propellers, a great way to make it "Simple" but means that when they stop you have no back up, you'd simply fall out of the sky I'd dare say Griffo.
I know this is just a prototype and there is a long way to go but I'd be extremely keen to see how they sell the "Crash Survivability" of something like this!!
