During the flight tests, the fancraft reached a hover height of about 2ft outside ground effect for the prototype.
The phase consisted of autonomous hovers with the vehicle’s fly-by-wire control system providing the necessary auto-stabilisation in pitch, roll and yaw rotational axes of the vehicle.
