The rotorcraft took off from Nashua Airport in New Hampshire on Jan. 30 and performed a full startup, hovered, executed turning maneuvers and successfully landed after a three-minute flight. The company also unveiled its full-scale mockup engineering prototype of its planned first product, the R550X, an autonomous version of the R44 helicopter.
