Jon said "Anyone have an idea why the drone prop with the complex tip was doing so well?"
Probably the same reason that airliners have winglets these days. It's to stop air escaping from bottom to top, thus improving the efficiency.

Do it now, you may never get another chance

The RR Ultrafan nearing it first run.
