Oh... Is that the way it works? The one-blades on the wing tips are like twin
tail rotors during take off? Then it transitions to horizontal flight? When it
lands is the front propeller stopped or sacrificed? ... or does it land
vertically too?

My nephew stopped by on his way to the Dugway Proving Grounds today.
He popped the container on the device he is taking out to demo for the Navy.
The company he works for manufactures these things in Bingen Washington.
It takes off and lands as a helicopter. On the wing tips are some tiny one
bladed rotators that are counter torque during take off and landing operations.
Flies something like 36 hours on 2 gallons of fuel.
