It's undoubtedly big enough. Whether or not people make use of it is an entirely different thing, but the use is there in every aspect of human transportation. These things would be like ships that can sail over both land and water, and they can also land on both. Doesn't it seem obvious that the applications for that are practically boundless? They can be used for human transport from luxury to economy, long and short range. A person can check into their room on the East coast and spend a day or two on the vessel and then be on the West coast. From some things I've read they will also be practical for short distance travel as well. They can transport equipment, supplies and buildings to remote locations without the need for roads. The military applications are huge, and it seems the military has already made agreements with a couple of companies to begin orders for some. They might even already have some in place doing surveillance work. They will also be cheap to operate, and can stay hovering manned or unmanned in a particular location for something like three weeks at a time. I'm guessing eventually there will be factory craft like that where people will live and work, going to one area to get raw materials and as they process it be transporting it as well. They can go to the best market without having to pay extra for shipping...stuff like that...
