WoW, very cool!...if you can manage to find enough skilled pilots to fly it as it's demonstrated and manage to keep it in the sky then you got your self quite a capable threat. The AV-8B Harrier (and to some degree the V-22 Osprey) is great examples of this. It take a very rare and talented pilot to fly these types of vector controlled aircraft at their potential. Even then mistakes and misevaluations are made and boom, no more fancy airplane.
...Besides the area of the dog fight is pretty much over. It's all about "fire and forget" from kilometers away before you even get a chance to see your target. Though I can see how that kind of maneuverability would be useful in evading the odd missile or two.

I work as an environmental graphics designer doing mostly Hospitals and Medical Office Building and these things are all the rage in new buildings or remodel (especially Cancer Centers). At least on the West Cost of the US. I was just working on one for a project in LA where the client wanted the lighting to change with the passing of the day ending up in stars (using a fiber optic system to make it work). Would have been really cool except when it was all said and done they couldn't swallow the price tag.
...They basically ended up with something like this with lights on a dimmer switch.
Anyway. All hail 3M. They are the primary supplier for the materials for these.
