Lift happens.
In aviation, innovation isn't a straight line. Progress comes from testing bold ideas, learning quickly, sharing what worked and what didn't, and returning stronger with every iteration.
The real value of a challenge like this isn't measured just by successful demonstrations. It's also found in the snags, the unexpected results, the assumptions that didn't hold, and the solutions that had to be reimagined. Every failed attempt reveals something new, and those lessons move the entire community forward.
