Seven years since I investigated its feasibility, but now its reality... at least on social media. The takeaway in the first case being that it was never going to fly, and in the second that in the only way it matters nowadays, it's flying already.
The giveaway however in that latter case are the facts that (a) you don't want to be trying it out over the world's deepest canyon (b) those propellers should ideally be turning and (c) they do create 200lb's worth of downwash and last time I was there ~ unless they've cleaned it since ~ it was dusty.
Bear in mind however that to most of us, suitably sedated by the blue pill, it's real.
And what's Orwellian about it is not that any Big Brother has orchestrated the fact we no longer distinguish truth from fiction... but that we'll happily do it to ourselves.
Ed. Tho' if you think we're characters in a matrix, try telling it to a traffic cop.
