So, what's the consensus here?
Never gonna happen?

I've seen a number of proposed designs, talking as if they're real, actual working aircraft or, at least, prototypes.
All of them are either models or nothing more than concept art boasting unrealistic performance figures.

Does anyone here have any numbers and/or practical experience with this and/or can give an idea on making something like this work?
