Hello everyone,

I am starting a project to build a Tornado Pointu that will of necessity be longer and wider than the plans show so I am calling it a Tornado Etendu.

I have access to an engine from a Jetski that is around 100hp and weighs 70 kg without cooling system for the thrust and a choice of engines in 15 to 20hp size for lift. The craft will ideally carry two people but usually only one person so my first question is about the cushion area for good performance with these masses.

Ideally the craft should be only 2000mm wide also if this is possible.

Present project ideals,
Hull material of 2.0-2.4 kg/m2 average.
Thrust diam 1100 mm
Lift Diam 550 mm
Craft width 2000 mm maximum
Craft Length (unknown)
Nose shape - Etendu (Extended Pointu)

All advice welcome
