Name: We’ve been approaching transition from both ends - accelerating from hover, tilting the propellers from 90 to 50 degrees, and decelerating from wingborne flight, tilting the propellers from 0 to 40 degrees, as we incrementally expand the envelope. Today’s test saw our test pilot Paul Stone accelerate in hover from 0–43 knots, with the front propellers tilting to 50 degrees - huge amount of data captured and another step forward in building real, certifiable performance.

What an incredible thing to see in the sky... tonight for those in Florida and the Caribbean. During Starship’s ascent burn, the vehicle unexpectedly broke apart, resulting in the loss of contact. Our team promptly coordinated with safety officials to implement pre-planned contingency measures. We will analyze the data from today’s flight test to identify the root cause. Every test provides valuable insights, and today’s flight will contribute to further improving Starship’s reliability.show more
