It's certainly of little usefulness now, but I suspect that, if

someone made this work, it would be more efficient and quiet than what

we have today. There would be no high-speed propeller or jet engine

churning up air and creating noise, and it would have the automatic

ability to turn into a glider without a prop or jet intake to create

drag. I suspect something could be done to create a super-STOL

aircraft, too. This could be the holy grail of personal aircraft

transport.
