Looks like a unique design for sure. Open cockpit..pilot has kahones. But it appears to work okay.

Hope there is some Kevlar between them and the turbine.

Looks shakey on yaw, underpowered, and flying on the thrust. Looks like a good way to die young. I M Humble

It is definitely lacking some in safety and may not end well. Best to go with something that's already out there and much better design.. Jonker JS-1, HPH Shark even retrofitted ASW20.
