The cyclorotor now has a thrust to weight ratio of , which I believe means that it now has nearly double the thrust to weight ratio of any other cyclorotor. The max thrust produced (328g) and power consumed (78 Watts) are the exact same as a 6x3 conventional propeller (A 6x3 prop has only a 20% difference in the disk loading from the cyclorotor).
