- I don't understand why they retract. If not, they may augment that slotted wing.
- I commented on the front wing at #3, but it was neutral just to draw attention to it.
- The flying scale model has a reasonable round-ended rectangle duct, the investor friendly rendering has an odd kink in the bottom.
But they do have a flying scale model. Maybe they know what their doing? Productizing it is an whole another matter.
