There's no way it could fly. -And there's certainly no way it could execute that graceful turn into the -sunset. In other words, it's a terrible idea. A great visual -presentation, but all style and no substance. But I suppose that -marketing types (nor Macintosh users ?) are not supposed to know anything -about aerodynamics. It ends with the sloga "the best way to make a great idea -fly." The idea may fly, but that helicar never will. I suppose you are not aware of the Hughes NOTAR (NO TAil Rotor) concept, which is being applied to the Hughes 500 series helicopter, among others. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
