When all they can show is rendered 3D models you know it is all just bollocks which had a green label stuck on it to attract venture capital. So much easier and safer sticking with computer models instead of building something which will demonstrate you are only getting half your claimed performance for a few hours before it falls to bits.

They claim 1.1 HP per pound. My first wife had a Kawasaki 500 three-cylinder two-stroke bike. 0-60 in 4 seconds, if it didn't seize up or go unstable and toss you into the weeds. She lost her spleen on that one. John
