No pix of it on the ground or with wheels showing - where in the nose could you put a retractable nosewheel that doesn't get in the way of the retractable cylinders? Where would the main gear go and still leave room for a battery?

And just imaging the NOISE from 36 screeching little fans doing 15,000rpm to push some air downwards. Pure pud-pulling.
