How does the AIR-X control power and RPM in high winds?

The AIR-X has a unique rotor blade set that is made of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. As the wind speed gets close to 45 to 50 mph (21.5 m/s), aerodynamic forces cause the blades to twist and the rotor to stall. This is a passive function that slows the rotor to protect it from excessively high wind conditions.
