Cute and that is it. I cannot see any commercial value to this recycled endeavour. Attempted several times (ex: Russian ekranoplan) to no avail. Yeah electric engines but apart from that, a solution looking for a problem.

Careless private pilot dodged killing people in the air and on land by sheer luck and excellent engineering. Hope the Cirrus pilot loses their license for life. Imagine if the Metroliner had crashed into a populated area.

But for Americans, it seems that bigger always appears to be better when it comes to pomp and ceremony. My toy has to be bigger, shinier, faster than yours mindset.
