I know it's not the point, but I'd take these people much more seriously if
they *didn't* have a website full of beautiful renderings of the finished craft. Assuming such a craft is ever possible (given the V-22 experience I wonder) I suspect the devil lies in the systems integration details. Parachutes and airbags in case of engine failure? Has he even thought of what useful load is going to look like when it's all done? 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, and the payload of a 172? Well, I hear Moller has a signed purchase agreement with Michael Jackson. 'nuff said. Pretty pictures are the easiest part. It's like a wannabe-novelist who starts by composing a grandiose title with no idea of characters or plot. Though I must admit I was surprised there were no leggy models immediately apparent here, especially given that it's Italian. Disappointed, even. -cwk.
