    One look and I already see at least four fatal design flaws which would make this plane impossible. Most obvious are the intakes just a few feet higher than the waterline. Unless you are taking off / landing in absolutely perfectly calm waters, your screwed and even then not quite sure. This thing would likely only be able to take off from your standard, 11k runway. Though it does look seriously bad ass, the design would not work.

    I wouldn't go straining your arm too much by patting Bartinni on the back so hard, it's not that hard to design awesome stuff if they have to be built out of unobtanium in order to make them work. It IS a pretty awesome looking design! I really like how it looks and the basic idea of it's versatility re landing and take off on multiple surfaces is pretty impressive but anyone can see that there would have to be some major compromises in order to actually get it to do any of the things it needed to do. The largest stumbling block it was going to face was the amount of money it would take to get it to the prototype phase. With enough time, manpower and MONEY, some version of it could have been done but I don't see where it was going to overcome the weight AND carry enough fuel given that the whole, "submarine gas station" thing was not likely to have ever worked....but you never know. Anyway, great vid...I just think you went too far giving that idiot that much credit. In it's designed concept, it was never going to get off the ground.

    Want to train as a fighter pilot but your eyesight ruled that out? Want to do carrier traps and quals but the Navy said they were going to go in a different direction? Want to experience combat without being in any real danger? Then pick up a copy of Air Combat 7. It also allows us to simulate who would win in the epic clash of East vrs West. Highly recommended. Games also keep us out of trouble -- something that's overlooked when people criticize computer games.

Seems like the only way that could work.
