It looks beautyful.

But how does that thing fly? The Main rotor doesn't have any movable part on it. The blades look 100% neutral on pitch without anything disposed to change them.

Except they cost a couple of thousands of dollars (nice and very comfortable sits) I would not be interested on that.

that is a show replica probably. It kind of logical .
The prototype still being worked on or they did not want to risk anything transporting it to the show.
It must be a totally new way of maneuvering if this is the real thing
