Announcing we have completed full transition from hover to cruise and back!! This is the biggest milestone yet for Vight. Only a handful of tandem tilt-wing designs have ever done this. Enjoy the video with sound on.

@vightaero I feel like every week you send me a new video that blows my mind. Nobody ships like the team at Vight

@vightaero 💨💨

@vightaero Thank you Sophie!

@vightaero Congratulations to the @vightaero team!

@vightaero Thank you Albert!

@ELoosbrock @vightaero Congrats!

@ELoosbrock @vightaero Thanks Kip!

The team completed two more full transitions after the first one!

@vightaero Congrats!!

@vightaero Thanks David!

Next, we'll have this prototype doing patterns, id the system and dynamics better so we can accelerate sim development. We'll also be cooking something up that's MUCH bigger

@vightaero Congrats! This is a big milestone

@vightaero Thanks man, 1000%

@vightaero 💪

@vightaero 🔥

@vightaero Congrats Tsung. Has been awesome to follow your journey

@vightaero Appreciate you Rizwan!

@vightaero Wowwww let’s go!

@vightaero Let’s goooo

@vightaero 🙌🏽🙌🏽

@vightaero we'll be flying in beautiful backcountry before long

@vightaero Actually would love to do a short documentary on what you are building 🙌🏽

@vightaero Let's go! I'll DM. Come check out our flight testing some time

@vightaero holy shit congratulations!!

@vightaero thank you!

@vightaero the freq. of the rotors/motors is really nice on this not the annoying high pitched whine people are accustomed to. Will be cool to see you guys build out the larger model!

@vightaero agreed, it will sound much better with larger prototypes in part because we will keep tip speeds low

@vightaero that's awesome can't wait to see it, you guys are moving fast. Larger size blades and motors will naturally drop the freq further too i'd bet congrats again

@vightaero Congrats team vight

@vightaero Thanks mate, you're part of the squad too

@vightaero Nice! What's the next step? More tests with 1/5th scale prototypes or is it time to make it bigger?

@vightaero Both! We'll have this prototype doing patterns, id the system and dynamics better so we can accelerate sim development. We'll also start cooking something up that's MUCH bigger

@vightaero and without a gnc, top!!

@vightaero 😉

@vightaero Congrats!

@vightaero Thank you!

@vightaero Hope to see you at SunTrax one day soon.

@vightaero Would love to

@vightaero LFG!!!

@vightaero Let’s goooo

@vightaero Big milestone, congrats Tsung & Team!

@vightaero Thank you!

@vightaero Great achievement! Congratulations 🎉

@vightaero Thank you sir!

@vightaero Beautiful

Back transition footage

@vightaero Solid work you guys 🤠

@vightaero 🤠

@vightaero Want to make one we can put a huge camera gimbal on?

@vightaero How heavy?

@vightaero In an ideal world a fully loaded shotover F1

@vightaero awesome work!

@vightaero thanks Mischa!

@vightaero congrats! longest 7 months in history

@vightaero longest?

@vightaero Before compression ;)

@vightaero Haha everything is compressing, everything is accelerating literally in our prototype's case : )

@vightaero Nice very nice. But why did you leave out the best part- the transition back!

@vightaero Full video will go up soon! Relatively uneventful - we're stable enough in back transition but not as stable as forward yet

@vightaero congrats, following you for quite a while. great to see this.

@vightaero thank you

@vightaero Cool

@vightaero Why is it so hard to achieve this?

@vightaero Well said!

@vightaero Congrats!!!

@vightaero This is an impressive achievement for Vight and the future of aviation
