- exabrial 4y agoGood point. I guess I mean is there a channel where air is sucked in like a Dyson ‘bladeless’ ‘fan’?
- ReactiveJelly 4y agoDidn't see one in the technical blog. Imagine a huge two-engine jetliner. Replace the jet turbines with electric motors. Shrink the entire nacelle. Keep shrinking it, and then multiply it until you have 24 tiny motors in 24 tiny nacelles. Then integrate those nacelles into the flaps on the back of the wings. That, and 12 more tiny motor-nacelle-flaps on the front canards, is how their diagram looked.
