I'm writing a superhero story. This fellow acquires superpowers, sort of like Superman. He has some pals that he let's in on his abilities, and of course they want him to ferry them around the world. Problem... it's impractical at jetliner speeds, eh?
So I came up with this idea what to do about this. The guy [STRIKE]rips off[/STRIKE], er, borrows this old CT-39 Sabreliner sitting in a boneyard, and does the following surgery--
He clips off the wings--leaving the landing wheel section--and tail section. He reinforces the pilot seat into a kind of clamshell of steel, kevlar, what-have-you, so he can belt-in, do his flight thing and take the plane with him. Good thing is, the airframe is built for ~600mph speeds, so his passengers travel along with him in style.
Any comments? Or it's the lamest, most moronic idea you've heard all year?
Edit: here's what the little jet looks like whole
