Moller's too late!

BD by now if it's possible.

Because Moller's concept is fundamentally stupid and unworkable. He
knows this and isn't about to illustrate that with a model. Though
why the investors and grantors haven't demanded this long before is
puzzling.

But the thing is that you can accomplish thrust to weight ratios in models
that are impossible in real life. And quietly too. And since thrust to
weight ratios and noise are two of the biggest problems with Moller's
design, I'd be scared that he'd made models to try to make it look more
workable than it is.
