>>1545634>don't get any benefits of having a wing, a ducted fanthe outer lip of a ducted fan acts like a wing i guess?
i think that it would suck for gliding but maybe the idea here is that because there is so much redudancy with the fans that it doesnt matter
honestly something with 5 or more lift fans probably has enough redudancy to get insured.. having more than one engine failure is really uncommon
