However, the disadvantages are that it would block the passengers LoS from within (for a fluff point) and it also the wings would have to be very angled which looks rather odd, but not too odd so as to completely throw the idea.
Next we have the more helicopter idea; mounting the wings on the top, above the passengers. This allows for more LoS and access for the passengers and would also provide protection from the giant engine. The Gun Drones are also at a better angle and the thing appear more sleek while still having a 'hover' feel about it.
The big disadvantage here is that the passengers would not be able to stand and would have to remain seated in transit. It also means the top has a lot of weight though I can solve any technical problems with enough dedication.
So what would everyone suggest? Top or front? I think I am leaning towards front myself.
