Re: A tinker tramp with blades
Not sure about TCM's James Bond one though. Extract from the site FAQs:
4. Back to Top
What happens if the engine quits?
SoloTrek XFV’s systems, including the engine, have been designed and engineered to be ultra-reliable. Additionally, all life-critical components have several early warning sensors to provide the pilot with immediate information on any anomaly. SoloTrek XFV’s typical mission is operation just above tree top level, i.e., fifty to one hundred feet above the ground. This means that if the pilot’s head’s-up helmet display indicates any potential problem, a safe landing is literally ‘seconds’ away! In the event of a life-threatening emergency, an integral ballistically-deployed pilot extraction system provides safe egress from the aircraft, like an ejection seat, at any altitude or airspeed.
... yeah sure....

ah but
i bet there's be no complaints.
Interstingly, both these follow yank ideas of engineering namely
1. Think of idea
2. Do a website (www.americanhydrofoil.com is an example)
3. Perhaps make one (the helicopters are another example)
....and still haven't got to production, price or anything
Mind you, admittedly most of our stuff gets only as far as stage 1.

Re: Ultimate toy, your own jet airliner
Ken,
A Swedish acquaintance of mine (ex SAS Airline Captain who made a fortune by inventing some kind of car wash for planes), turned up in his private plane at East Midlands Airport last year - it's a Boeing 737!! (OK a 15 year old 200 series, but if they are good enough for Ryanair, they're good enough for Lars!!)
