The operational environment is changing on a daily basis. It's about delivering critical supplies to our troops at the right time and right place before the enemy can respond. This is the MV250 vertical takeoff and landing hybrid electric autonomous aircraft. Autonomy is a game changer. You know, we're not trying to replace pilots. What we're trying to do is keep them out of the most dangerous missions and make sure that our troops still get the critical effects that they need. You get about double the performance out of an unmanned aircraft when you take out all the requirements that are hanging on to the pilot. So this becomes a very clean, very aerodynamic. And lightweight solution and a technology developer for all of our aircraft. You also reduce the cost of operating it, not just from fuel perspective, but how many maintainers, how many pilots you have to send, how many crew chiefs you have to send. Our aircraft requires one person, a small box of tools to keep that airplane at 90% availability rate. That is exceptional. It's cargo logistics, it's medical, it's bringing water medicine people inexpensively, reliably over the hill. It has to be. Both technologically superior and economically sustainable. And I think that's what Beta delivers at a cost that allows the military to scale, sustain, and win.
