Dem old blades-o-death!

Yeah, after thinking about it for an extra 8 seconds, I decided that a bank of four ducted fans (16" OD) might work just as well.

Here's what they are using for fake jet engines in RC models these days.



If the impeller housing was made out of heavy gauge stuff, they would be safe enough.

Maybe use 4 of these motors..?.
