Wonder where the wheels/tyres were sourced from?

The UC Hard Graph kit is horribly expensive but this is by far the best wheeled conversion I have yet to see based on that kit. <...>

Found this unusual thing, see what you think...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2538651/The-future-air-travel-Three-storey-Sky-Whale-fits-755-passengers-virtual-reality-windows-self-healing-wings.htmlAnd be careful if and when you Google 'sky whale' to find out more. It gets a bit weird.Ken
Wow - wonder if that's been anywhere near a wind tunnel: can't see the interactions between the passenger section and the engine "yoke" being that favourable...Also wouldn't like to try to make the safety case for a civilian passenger liner using tilting engines to shorten it's landing/take-off run. What happens when one of them fails just after rotation in a mx weight take-off?
