Tetra Re-Pak


Recognised the name from the GoFly comp, tho' not their latest iteration. Sympathetic  to their efforts in view of the fact they lent us an electric screwdriver at the event.

Meanwhile Pete Bitar ~ who afforded us a deal of assistance at the same time ~ shows how you can't keep a good man down, as they used to say.

If nothing else it illustrates how the drift toward assisting the cruise phase of eVTOLs with wings is a common trend.

For whereas multicopters can be viewed as inferior forms of helicopter, conventional efforts to combine VTOL with aerofoils were plagued with problems prior to electrics.

Above, Tetra's latest and original (inset) and likewise below alongside Pete Bitar.
