    Perhaps a grammar primer would have been more useful.

    It might be possible to overcome this by making the pipe larger relative to the vehicle, but then the whole thing becomes less efficient.

    When I was a kid I was very much into blowpipes. The solution to windage is a wad. I suspect it might take more than one sheet of bogroll in this case though.

    What we learned is that it's incredibly stupid to fly it on a route that goes near a bunch of fat bastards who sulk and sabotage it because they didn't invent it.

    A point here is that the lack of a sign saying "do not shit on the seats" is not the same as permission to shit on the seats!

    I'm pretty sure a lawyer could argue otherwise. It wouldn't surprise me if several seat-shitters have walked free on such a technicality, especially in the EU.

    It's like getting on a bus and there's a sign saying "DO NOT SHIT ON THE SEATS".

    The fact that someone thinks it needs to exist is a big red flag (or possibly a brown one).

    They'd just say sod it and tell everybody to find their own way. Imagine all the extra staff to deal with something like that, it'd kill somebody's quarterly bonus.

    Assuming their lawyers screwed up and the SLA is written so they're on the hook for any losses, just claim off the insurance. If that doesn't cover it declare bankruptcy and set up under a new name the day after.
