Default PSRU design advantages

Look up Molt Taylor and his Aerocar system. He used a pusher arrangement
and seemed to have most of the problems solved with long shaft back to
prop.

His bird may still be flying some place to exhibitions?

It would fly tomorrow - after some minor touch ups and an annual. Don't know
when it's scheduled to go up again. They take the car out and run around the
airport from time to time. School kids love the Aero Car during their tours.
It last flew maybe 5 years ago. Maybe 6?
