As part of our prototyping we are presently testing a Flight Control Variant (FCV1) of our vehicle. So far, we have created a small scale model to test our flight control software and we will shortly be moving onto a half-scale FCV2 which will be used to inform the VTO to cruise flight transition sequence control and energy requirements.
Early tests with the FCV1 are showing great promise for controllability, with auto-stabilisation software acting to allow a well-controlled hover following power up.
