Pinging the list....(as a FYI only).

Thanks Lucy for bringing this to my attention.

Well, the virtue of this “craft” is its unexpected weirdness. If you were to ask someone of Leonardo da Vinci’s day what an aircraft would look like, they wouldn’t come up with something like a stealth bomber but with something featuring flapping wings. What it does remind me of, though, is the intention craft of The Amber Spyglass, not that it looks like the description of it, just that it called this to mind. I guess because it looks like something that’s not relying on its design to “fly” through air or hover in it. It appears to be there for other reasons.

Thanks for the ping. It reminds me of an Ion impulse engine conceptual drawing I saw once.
