[quote]Think of it as kinda like a Harrier, The long jumps are to save fuel but if you actually want to get it into the air it will start burning fuel faster than Austin Martin DB9. They tried to make something that can fly with a sleek design but it just did not work out how they wanted.[/quote]

I getcha, so it [i]can[/i] fly, but not well, fast, high, or for any length of time that'll really help it beyond getting somewhere a little faster. It's no dogfighter, but it has a limited advantage in some situations; and is really better suited to long-range jumps than true flight.
