Turbo 13B intended to produce over 400hp.  We know it can taxi.  The plan is for hover testing today.

 

Thanks for passing this along.  VERY cool if it works.  I can sure think of some nasty engine failure scenarios though...

According to the inventor, the wing loading of the “lifting” surfaces allows it to glide much like a Cessna in the event of an engine failure.  It is pretty light.

 

The objective of the first hover testing is an altitude of 6”.  Good plan.
