“As with most first flights, we’re not trying to test any limits at this stage,” said Bye Aerospace founder and CEO George Bye. That will come in the months ahead. However, the engineering and performance parameters measured during what Bye described as a “short and very successful flight” met or exceeded all flight-test targets.
