Sure, it might fly, but who wants a machine with the fuel burn of an
old Lear (at low altitude), the maintenance costs of a big Sikorsky,

It's a start. It portends the future. It's going to need development
and refinement, but I believe these vectored thrust machines will
eventually be successful in achieving flight and eventually public
acceptance.

I just wonder *where* these things might be operated. Certainly not down
any city street or through any neighborhood?
