Oho so DARPA is backed into a corner again, and this time they need our help! Look at this flyer, hastily printed on thin newsprint stock so that the letters bleed all the way through and get on your hands and cravat.
What does it say? Oh, ha ha, looks like the rocket propulsion bigshots at DARPA are indeed in a bit of a jam and need our help. They are in need specifically of, yes here it is, of one Soviet child engineer who could figure out this rudimentary sketch of the oversized Ground Effect Vehicle (GEV) designed to attain sustained flight over a level surface, usually the sea but I am betting they would settle for a large prairie state or a relatively calm lake, by making use of ground effect.
Mayday help mayday, they conclude, roflol.
And here is the sketch, well yes indeed, I do guess that a Soviet child of five could figure out THIS sketch.
Go fetch me a Soviet child of five.
