I'd really love to see you built a Zeppelin. You could fill it with helium balloons to get some buoyancy. Of course, it will be heavier than air. But, with vectored thrust and modern motors, I'm fairly certain it would work. I'd wager that it would even glide pretty well.

@@spud4242 I kinda don't see it my friend. The Flerken has a lot of sharp dimensional edges to it, along with definitive lines in it's construction. The massive forward swept wings as well. The Thunderbird 2 has more of a chubby smooth airliner look to it. Low, fuselage hugging air/rocket intakes and quite small wings. I'm just comparing, not criticizing. I will say that if you squint your eyes a bit.....:) :). AirHammer out!!

What you all should make is a large drone that is hollow in the middle with an opening big enough to install a high-powered rocket, if this is the right name for it, that is powered by a G-motor. Fly the drone as high up into the sky as legally allowed and then launch the rocket off from the drone.
