- Its route explainer gives the square-grid detour as 4/π ≈ 1.27 times the straight-line distance, before real roads add more.
Field notes
The page lays out six aircraft elements, from the in-house carbon-tube-and-plate frame to the payload bay, and identifies endurance as a test area. A separate route widget lets visitors compare a street path with a straight line; its 4/π estimate applies to a square grid, while the page notes that real road networks add detours and congestion.
