Turbines have lots of wing twist and far thicker roots than is desirable for planes. And how do you fly it back?

  The desireable thing here is that they can fly, not that it's optimal. also you could just drive, lol this thing: https://mitxela.com/projects/turbine_transport_transformer https://mitxela.com/projects/turbine_transport_transformer the bigger questing is anyway where this could safely land and start, when it's of no need for sea transport to begin with. Same question remains for that plane. How to do the last miles from the airport. If the route is long enough you can usually find an autobahn and a river wide enough to get 100m blades around. There seem little use for planes in that size class that doesn't add costs.

    If you read the source material, it's designed to fly from a minimally prepared airstrip.
