This paper describes a workflow for rapid prototyping, simulation, and subscale flight-testing aimed at risk reduction of novel vertical takeoff and landing configurations that transition between vertical and forward modes of flight. The workflow is demonstrated using the example of a multi-tiltrotor configuration, the VT-03-s Shadow.
