the matter required to make power to raise the vehicle will always add more weight than the thrust it produces could lift off.

if you could prove them it's working and possible, that alone would make them be able to build one fast. blueprints would be nice to look at a few times. sure they'd build a different one, but it'd accelerate our flight science by 50 years. really just going back with a plane and showing them it's possible and what it looks like. they'd easily build a plane in 3 years without blueprints.
