We shut off motors, actuators, and batteries mid-flight—on purpose.
In preparation for completing pilot-on-board transition flights, our team conducted rigorous failure injection testing on our aircraft, to validate the layers of resilience we've built into our aircraft. In every case, our aircraft kept flying safely and landed vertically with no change to pilot procedures.
