REFLECTOR: OT Alienair

[Craig and Denise Woolston]

I wasn't there but I believe not.  I had a friend ask me about it and I
thought I would toss it out there to see if anyone else had heard or seen it
before.  It's definitely supposed to be a VTOL and the rear fans are powered
off a single engine.

Looks like a VERTOL design with foreword fan inside of the nose- did it
actually fly in to the show?

The first reaction is "wow!" but then the sleek blending and futuristic
looks of the airframe are completely overshadowed by how draggy the thing
must be with the ducted fans etc.  I'd like some performance specs to get
confirmation that it is not the fast aircraft the initial shape and forming
would suggest.

Has anyone seen this thing before or know anything about it.  It was seen at
the Camarillo, CA airshow last weekend but the owner was not around.  It's
registered to Roger Parker and called Alienair
