I’ve got an old wooden sofa that came from my father’s grandmothers home. I don’t know much more about it, but it’s probably a hundred years old.

Your wings would fall off. There is almost no material where they should be the strongest because there is a giant hole in it.

The center of gravity has to be forward of the side props or you’ll have a hard time balancing it. This means the mass of fuel/battery, engine and payload have to be around there.

You’ve seen how big the props are on toy drones, helicopters, or the V-22 compared to the rest of the thing? They need to be that big to provide enough lift.

Generally people choose to work the same hours even when their productivity goes up because the opportunity cost of not working an hour goes up too
