Based on an experiment from the 50s, this aircraft would use very little energy, and would likely fly silently by default. The wings are mostly for control, as the actual lift is taken care of by opposing rotation of magnetic plates or assemblies, and forward thrust is created by magnetically driven turbines.
It is designed with a standard Pilot/Co-pilot control system in mind, however, the ergonomics necessary for fitting 2 people and their equipment in this vehicle still escape me. A scale model of the outer shell would be necessary, but I am not currently able to produce this.
