Consider the fact that they predicted deliveries to customers by the end of 2014, and they claimed the MPG figures with no more than "calculations".
Now with less than two months left in 2014 I wonder what the current delivery prediction is now, while we get a peek at the engine.
They are bleeding money monthly, probably other peoples money. I think it took 120 days to design and build the P51 Mustang. This thread is rapidly approaching two years age.
Color me very skeptical.
