It's CGI

Here's my reasoning alongside Frank's. With a propeller driven version of this you have air flow control surfaces, the propeller blades and the air vortices around them that influence air flow. A jet engine needs auxiliary control surfaces. Wings! This thing doesn't have enough surface area to be a lifting body.

I see more and more CGI generations like this. 2 days ago I saw a car show interview that never existed in reality at all. Totally generated by computer graphics. Moral of the story, we are in a tie where we have people perfectly willing to create video and text that has no relationship to reality in order to influence people. NOt sure if the influence is necessarily a good thing coming from people like this.

If their intentions are purely to create content for entertainment it is one thing. and should be treated as such. it their intentions are to use technologies to become modern day purveyors of snake oil for the pulpous of luring investors then it is a bad thing.

I am reminder of a juvie novel by Robert Heinlein the man who sold the moon. in order to colonize the moon and prevent certain countries to lay claim to ownership. He did eventually make it to the moon
