Not to burst the aesthetic bubble, but where is the landing gear?

Also, the image on the front page is not the image of the craft seen on the video.

Looks cool, but it needs a better name.

I’m expecting aircraft based on sailfish, pufferfish, jellyfish, clownfish, and squid in short order. Don’t fail me, science!

Still waiting for my briefcase-car. Damn you, Jetsons, it’s the 21st century now, where are the briefcase-cars?

Pilots will love flying these. I’m no expert at aircraft design, but I think having a single engine located centermass-ish will make this super-maneuverable.

Plus it’s “emotional”. Maybe I’ve been scarred, but when I hear the term “emotional” I don’t want to have it applied to something that I’m flying in at 20,000 feet going mach .8.

Still, looks cool.
