Rejected Take Off
This is somewhat related.to.flight testing....I think. I am surprised at.how quickly the wingtips folded up after the RTO. Was somehow expecting a very slow retraction.

So, the engine is presently not reliable enough for a first flight, but it can still perform a RTO, albeit probably a low-energy one.

I think the idea is to minimize the amount of time the aircraft has to spend on the runway before being getting into taxiway configuration. That's correct, the wings need to be folded before it enters a taxiway. If the aircraft landed and took a "high speed" exit taxiway they would need to fold quickly.
