- Thanks, the image is simply there to provide a general impression of one of the possible shapes of the craft. Why isn't the picture suitable for the second hook? It is the thing mentioned in the hook. Forbes source removed from article. QPQ shortly. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:19, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy:@~riley: I came by to promote this with an image. I'm willing to run ALT2 in a quirky slot, but I don't see mention of the U.S. Navy patent in the text. Yoninah (talk) 21:58, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Done and see ref 8. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:07, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
