How to identify this aircraft

Specs checked · Geometry provisional

The following features are supported by the cited manufacturer, regulator, or research authority. Compare them with the educational rendering; mismatches remain open artwork issues.

01 · PROPULSORSTWELVE propellers on SIX booms, not six propellers in total.
02 · FRONT ROWSix forward propellers tilt to provide cruise thrust.
03 · REAR ROWSix aft propellers are dedicated to vertical lift.
04 · CRUISEIn forward flight the fixed wing provides lift; aft rotor geometry differs from Joby.

Specification conditions: The roughly 20-mile sector is a published optimization target, NOT aircraft maximum certified range.

Outstanding geometry review: Check six-boom spacing and forward/aft propeller relationship against Archer photos.
