smaller wings, loose the motor, convert to hybred human-electric. we have to find a way to get off the ground without the bulk. is it possible? sumone once told me that if we could control the magnitism of a chunk of metal we could go any where... who knows
This design is almost exactly like an idea I had, doodled up, and title "fuel-less cross-country aircraft". The one big difference was that I included a small in-crank generator so the pilot could supplement the power going to the motor bicycle style. Other than that, even the layout was the same.

(2) Why do we want to design new aeroplanes?
(3) What is the motivation for us to achieve new milestone in aviation?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
