- New videos show brief untethered test hops of a boxy technology demonstrator with a pilot aboard.
- The company promotes a proprietary enclosed electric-jet array with 48 small fans, eliminating exposed propellers.
- Published figures include electronic limits of 60 mph speed and 15 ft altitude, an estimated 10–15 minutes of flight per charge, roughly 80 dB noise, and a 6.5-by-6.5 ft footprint.
