The technical assessment included an evaluation of the propulsion system, lift-blown technology, fly-by-wire architecture, and tail wing design, along with a review of the quality of design requirements to ensure maturity and traceability. Design compliance with certification requirements was also assessed. In parallel, the market assessment evaluated the aircraft-level marketing definition and compared the vehicle and its intended missions against relevant market competitors.

Data gathering and analysis were conducted through a combination of in-person and virtual interviews, comprehensive reviews of technical documentation, wind tunnel data, propeller design, aerodynamic models of the tail wing, and battery performance data. The effort also included a review of the certification plan, business case, and financial assumptions, along with an analysis of design and performance relative to top competitors and an assessment of system safety and potential failure modes.

The summary of findings addressed market competitiveness, business case suitability, identified capability gaps, and assessed overall technology readiness. Based on these findings, recommendations were developed covering the commercialization plan, supplier capability assessment, propulsion system architecture, and schedule, budget, and organizational needs to achieve entry-into-service goals, along with key risk mitigation strategies.
