Running a ducted fan at Mach 0.8 is bound to be noisy.

I met Rich at the SAE meeting and he has come up with a practical

idea for a roadable car. I liked it so much I spent some time on
a suggested structural design. LaBeche is copying the idea more or less except they are using a pusher prop.

Here is what I have so far. This is where the PAV money should go instead of paying it out to C172 and RV4 owners that don't need it :)

Dear Mr. Lamar:

I am not sure I understand this post: is it saying that Mr. Strong has come up with a
useable way to power a car by using a ducted fan?  If so, what would be the advantages
over mechanical transmission of the engine's power to the wheels?  If it is better,
I am certainly interested.
