Been ham-strung from the outset by the outline dimensions required to meet the GoFly challenge, which inadvertently penalises airframes that extend vertically whilst remaining inside the admissible foot-print.
Nonetheless if this concept has any value at all, it lies in the recognition that most people do their commuting (when they're not sat in a traffic-jam) while standing up.
I'm not going to compromise on this despite my myriad attempts at a work-around, but I do envisage a proof-of-concept at full scale that retains a drone at top and bottom whilst still meeting the criterion of being 102 inches from any one point on the vehicle to any other.
Until that prototype is airborne, though, I won't be updating either the web-page or the blog.
For a single flight (as Boeing 707's test-pilot commented) is worth a thousand speculations.
