Come on guys! As much as I love turbines (mine specially) there are two points to consider here:

1) BVM is the best of the best any they are showing serious interest on the topic of EDF

2) If there isn't a market for it (where competition would try to beat him at), then why is it Bob keeps the jet intakes and exhaust always plugged??HUMM! he could be hidding a secret atomic powerplant!!! no, he just knows others are working on it too...

You are giving EDF's the "JetJoe" treatment and JetJoes ARE turbines!!!!!

I did see it fly today at FL Jets, a lot better than most Boomerangs on the event
