Configuration & architecture

PROGRAM EXECUTION

Development, test & industrialization

Aviation Week's 21 October public extract reports revealed uncrewed prototype flight testing. The scope of that evidence should not be expanded into passenger flight validation or approval.

Operations & market

Open gates & dependencies

The 120 km/h and endurance figures remain presentation claims. Certification status and detailed power-system independence are unverified. A dedicated 3D model is deferred until adequate dimensional and configuration references are available.
