All i can say is that I saw flying model of this that was about 10-15ft wide on the Discovery Channel about 3-4yrs ago and they were talking about how they wanted to push the design forward. That was 3-4years ago so maybe it has some credibility.

However I don't see where they would fly it. I wouldn't really worry about that guy. I don't want to sound ignorant but if it say's Boeing I have no problem going!
