[2] The PAV first flew on January 22, 2019, in Manassas, Virginia,[3][4] hovering before further tests and a transition to forward flight.

[5] The three-surface aircraft has twin booms each supporting four lift rotors slightly angled alternatively outward and inwards, a pusher propeller and the rear wing has vertical surfaces at each end.

A review of the recorded data revealed that vibration occurred and briefly exceeded the jerk logic threshold used to detect contacts to the ground (in addition to squat switches).

The aircraft entered the ground mode, subsequently commanding the motors to shutdown.
