That is what you said Jack but that may not be what I'm describing. Wick I already looked all over for a pic but couldn't find one. I'll try again later.

Good jorb wick. That's it. The white zigzag line is IT! I'm going to have to go with the embedded antenna.
STOVL I think. I think it can achieve VTOL though. Beats the Harrier... uh yeah... kicks the crap out of it... after 40 years of standing alone.
