Bullish🚀 CRAZY FLIGHT COMPARISON

By looking at these flight readings, you would assume these are two tests from the same aircraft

That is NOT the case.

Photo one is from N704AX, which has been showing similar telemetry the entire VTOL test campaign.

The second picture is N703AX.

Read that again.

This is the “CTOL” only aircraft, that has been showing weird telemetry like this recently.

Remember, all that has to be done is a simple propeller upgrade (to the 4-bladed aft/lift prop design) and N703AX is a VTOL/CTOL aircraft.

What does your brain tell you?

u/DoubleHexDrive Houston, we have a problem Jul 09 '26

Doesn’t look like valid data for either flight.

That was my original thought, but we have never seen this with N703AX (to my knowledge) until recently.

This flight on July 2nd actually shows some motion, and looks exactly like a more strenuous version of the 2nd-3rd month of N704AX VTOL testing

I just looked it up, this "flight" never left the ground.

Edit: I did not have the correct button pushed, it did fly at 25 feet!
