I’d love to build an experimental around a BMW boxer.

Be sort of a return to their roots.

In the late 1970s, Popular Mechanics (iirc) covered a similar disc vehicle that was actually built and running. It had only 4 blades run by 4 wankel rotary engines, and supposedly reached a similar speed. But because it was not made of modern composites, it weighed enough to be used only as a hover craft, not a helicopter. As a kid I used to day dream about taking it out into the desert. :)

Just put on some solar panels and you could fly all day-snicker.

If you hit those curves as 120mph there could be a spill.

‘I’m looking for investors to make it happen - the technology is on the market.’

...

People with viable ideas can usually find investors without hyping the ideas in the media.
