Touch and go for Pandora

Touch and go for Pandora

More flight testing is taking place for the Aerovel Flexrotor Pandora it launches, transitions, does a touch & go, and then a full stop and docking in the parallel-bar handling rig.

Just the ticket for some Friday afternoon viewing. You know somebody is making progress with UA when they make a hard thing look easy! The Pandora will operate completely autonomously from take off to landing. Even pulling itself back into its hanger.
