The result of bored stiff engineers asking “How big a jet engine can you strap to your ass?”  

No market research, no feasibility studies, no industry partnerships, no government handout, no union deals.  Just one criteria - "Build the darn thing."  And don't let management know!  Make it small and make it ridiculously fast.

This is the HD - 1 Swift Experimental Jet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. 

Designed for personal transportation, with just enough room for your briefcase, your MasterCard, and maybe - lip gloss.  Capable of supersonic high altitude performance, this aircraft shines laying down a sonic boom at tree top level!  Break all the rules...
