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

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.
