S Trimble, Hybrid Trifan 600 gains boost as deals come in, Flight International, 31 October-6 November 2017, p 20

The 12 000 lb Aurora Flight-Sciences-built Lightning Strike XV-24A VTOL demonstrator is powered by a single RR AE 1107C turbine driving three Honeywell Aerospace 1 MW generators feeding 24 ducted fans mounted on a tilting wing and canard.
