Not just that, but the aerodynamics have been screwed
up. The heads will
no longer "float" on an air-cushion; I believe the gap is the traditional
human hair width, if that.
Much larger. I remember seeing a scale drawing that showed the gap
as half an inch or so, with a dust particle the size of a freaking
mountain and a human hair that looked like a Tipler cylinder.
