> What's weird about mounting propellers at the end of the wing is that you lose half the lift of the propeller wash over the wing, over a normal placement. They're generating lift at low speeds by using the array of small motors, and then optimizing the wing for cruise lift. It's really brilliant. And it'll result in better handling in turbulence too. Frankly I'm stunned at the direction they've gone here, it's really remarkable and is a major shift in approach to aerodynamics that has huge implications across the industry.
