I remember seeing an attempt at this about ten years ago. It was a coaxial
design, IIRC, and was able to lift and hover for a second or three before
the highly trained athlete midget pilot ran out of gas...

Anyway -if you go with the "anal probe" idea, why not a methane powered
engine - just need to keep the pilot / fuel source fully loaded on beans...

When I was a kid, I had some very crude ideas about the People's Gas Co. in
Chicago...
