You ask for comments - I am sorry but I don't see how you get to VTOL out of this reasonable aim of building aircraft that need less runway.

Best part: "Planes flying in formation to take advantage of reduced drag making them more energy efficient."

Thunderbirds are go !.

I don't see how you get to VTOL

I didn't - hence the question mark.
