I just imagine what hitting a bird at 300 m.p.h. would do to your face, and the security risk of suicide missions in these.


As recent events in Texas have shown, you don't need novel technology for that risk to appear -- good old private Cessnas do fine.

As to the Puffin -- seems like a lot of potential in military applications to me. To quietly spirit a few people across enemy lines... Priceless...
