but fit a complete fresh sheet ground up design he’s making good progress and I have no doubt at all that he will get something flying over the next year or two.
As far as I can tell, all those things are mostly powerpoint presentations with an odd physical part here and there. Apart from avionics, not a single item you mentioned is new technology. Considering that, jumps you find staggering are..... not really.
