My first thought: OK, let’s say the engines and avionics work (a huge “if” on both), then they are FORCING people to train pilots, and those pilots need, say, 1000 hours on the stick to be a marginal threat.

Not worried about this in the least.

If they were really smart, they’d put a commercial drone GPS system in them, rig up someway to work the controls, and turn them into a drone with one pre-set target and a flight plan of about 3 meters off the ground just under Mach. That might work.
