I introduced in the wood structure area an idea of a 4 engine jet ( 4 x model engines ). To top the existing Cri Cri and BD-5 records for the smallest jet.
Would that have difficulties in regulation side ? Engines are to be overhauled at just 25 hours of use ?
Also pilots eligible to fly a small beast would be small portion of race pilots and army / navy pilots..perhaps few commercial pilots ! Would this make it an less desired in air space in general ?
I assume ( by Cri Cri jet and BD-5J and BD-10 ) that this could go 450-500 km/h..perhaps even 700 in a dive. Engines would only cost 14,3 K€..thus it could be quite easily achieved by a homebuilder.
Would this project run into NSA and FBI investigations if tried to be sold to anyone ? I did realise that there is a certain unwanted element of it when in wrong hands ? Drug smugglers could get away with it very fast etc. It could also for its diminutive size be almost undetected in a radar ?
