Safety Features

Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers and motors on the aircraft so if one or more motors or propellers fail, the other working motors and propellers can safely land the aircraft. The aircraft has a parachute for added safety, there is also redundancy built into the aircraft was well as back-up systems. The propellers have protective guards on the perimeter of the propellers. The aircraft also has a whole aircraft ballistic parachute.
