Interesting concept although on first look got to wonder if he was
dreaming of an updated, stretched and powered 2 seat Salto that could
fly him to fame and fortune (just kidding about the fortune)

I hope someone will read the thesis and tell us the goal of the concept. It does
make me wonder if the current FES could be adapted to a three blade propeller,
with all blades external as they are now. Slightly higher drag when gliding, but a
50% increase in power capability by the propeller (or more ground clearance and
some power increase).
