The experience we had with an IVO wasn't good. It was on a
Subaru using a redrive, so the input was smoother than a direct-drive
would be, but still experience vibration caused by the blades shifting
between the clamping plates. There have been several reports of Ivos
throwing blades, and when you see how they're made it's easy to
understand. The blades are mostly a high-density foam with a really
thin skin of carbon fiber, and they're retained by means of two bolts
through aluminum bushings in each blade root. There's enough slop that
the blade can move tangentially in the hub, throwing the chordwise
balance off.
The Ivo pulled really well. Better than the Warp Drive we
replaced it with.
