As we mentioned in the last post, we have been working on a larger version of the front fin, and here it is. The VTX-538 is coupled with the VTX-375B.
This is not the final version of this design. We have made a few minor tweaks to harmonize the various sizes. Notably, the trailing edge of the front fins has now been matched with the leading ...
It has been some time since we posted an update on the SPLT (now renamed VTX) series that we have been testing for several months.
This has turned out to be an interesting design meeting our expectations. We started with the VTX-500 and the VTX-338 for the initial testing. Over the intervening months, it has ...

We continue to work on the BLENDED-WING update to the A4C-500.
The latest version of the A4C-500BW has some refinements from the first version. We started by moving the bend down slightly further on the fin.

Additionally, ...
