With the amount of power needed for VTOL, I would think 340knots is not that unreasonable. The Epic has 1,200-1,500hp and can do 330knots with roughly the same payload capacity. Yes it is sleeker, but the Trifan will have several times more hp than the Epic...I think...Crowd funding airplanes does not work. It worked only for a particular part of Synergy, didn't work for many many others, even did not work for Rutan RC. They will need I would estimate over $300mil for this project.
