No way, mate. Something that large and bulky, not to mention pricey, belongs at the very least in some sort of lightweight airframe with the ability to have even a small amount of glide capability in case of engine failure(s).
A disaster waiting to happen.
Although the military might find some unconventional use for it.

It’s a nice design.
- the fans need to be optimized, the pressure ratio isn’t that great
- the power density of the engine is too low, should be a lightweight gas turbine
And it could lose some weight still. Sorta garden furniture quality at the moment.
