What makes this different or better from something like the osprey?
- orbital-decay 2y agoIt's not a tiltrotor, it's a tailsitter, like many drones. "Rotor blown" part means that in any mode except for the level flight the drag is reduced by the rotor wash, making it more efficient in VTOL.
- iancmceachern 2y agoIt doesn't use propellers or rotors like a typical flying machine. It uses a blower to blow air over the entire leading edge of the wing (hence the name "blown wing") instead.
