The Axe has 45-degree fixed-angle motors and rotors, two pairs of fixed wings, and four propellers suited to the wing. Each propeller was<br />
powered by two motors to provide single-failure tolerance. The Axe is designed to be piloted and will be autonomous in the future, with a<br />
capacity of two passengers. The primary markets for Axe are personal use and training. When the Axe is fully powered by electricity, the range<br />
is around 161 km (100 miles); the vehicle also has a hybrid version with a longer range of 482 kilometers (300 miles).<br />
