The Ducted Fan aircraft is based upon what appears to be an all-composite sailplane and is apparently intended to point the way to future low-emmisions GA products that Airbus may some day build. Very little is given in the article at the link about the flight objectives or the propulsion system, and the video is carefully edited so that it is difficult to say anything at all about takeoff roll or acceleration. All that is sure is that it has twin ducted fans and appears to fly.
