This may be a silly question, but at the moment I am having a difficult
time visualizing this in my head...

Are the IVO prop blades able to be "reversed" with regards to direction
of rotation (counter-clockwise to clockwise) and still provide thrust
properly..?


No one else is biting, so I'll shoot.

Even if you can turn them all of the way around, the camber of the airfoil
would be backwards. Although you would get some thrust, it would be at the
cost of a GREAT loss of efficiency.
