Sorry for being a grumpy naysayer.  By all means, build and demonstrate
the capability.


Matt-


It's very simple, Paul says above 400mph or better. If you're going to build
one of these you aren't going to be worried about fuel efficiency or build
cost. Two p-port turbo 2 or 3 rotors driving a single shaft to a big fan in
the aft fuselage. Aluminum housings and no PRSU's to offset the twin weight.
Carbon fiber fuselage with tandem seating for two styled after an F-5 or
F-16. What a hoot eh ? Now that I have sorted it all out for you get it
built and don't forget to give me a ride.
