Safety features

Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers or in this case, CycloRotors, and motors on the aircraft, so if one or more CycloRotors or motors fail, the other working CyclorRotors and motors can safely land the aircraft. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft.
