We've launched a page for tests: This will chronicle our ongoing testing on the way to building autonomous flying cars. No matter what the latest test result is, we will keep sharing our progress. Today, ground testing passed for the latest prototype. We're ready for flight testing tomorrow!

Oh, we're also livestreaming our next hover flight, tomorrow morning YT X

Woops, here's the Youtube link

@vightaero Let’s go!!!

nice

We have to postpone the livestream after we found a yaw stability issue and had a hard landing. We'll review the vehicle and logs and I'll share an update later today.

this looks sick bro

most would just bury a hop like aug 20 - good on you for posting the miss next to the wins. curious what the tilt actuator root cause turned out to be

too much play in the mechanism in hover caused the thrust from the rotors to be pointed backwards in hover. That made it feel like it had less pitch authority than it did

@be_rosebee awesome ! love the strategy . will inspire others to follow and thats a good thing for the sector

@be_rosebee It's surprising that the most active livestreaming space or aero company is SpaceX and it's not even close. It's not surprising how conservative most of the industry is when it comes to streaming.

@be_rosebee with the iteration speed available due to 3d printing , AI and shift to electric propulsion aerospace hardware iteration now reaching software like pace . So it makes more sense now to stream progress to keep accountability , investor interest and also great for hiring .

The test log is more convincing than any highlight video.

Publishing misses alongside fixes makes physical AI credible. The valuable artifact is the trace between HIL results, firmware revision, tilt-mechanism changes, and flight behavior. A prototype becomes trustworthy when every test—pass or fail—adds reusable engineering data.

Hey Xu, just dropped you a dm, we have an upcoming @bloomberg piece we’d love to share your insights, let’s connect!

keep going, almost there
