Hunger Games Hoverplane anyone?

First of all, a big hello to the world of Simviation. I recently got FSX for my birthday and have been playing it religiously since, and your website popped up when I looked for extra planes. And what a site it is, you've really done a really good job here guys :D
Now, for my first post, I'd like to request an aircraft to be created, as I've always wondered what it would fly like whilst reading the books. I'm referring to the 'Hoverplane' used frequently in the Hunger Games trilogy; a futuristic VTOL stealth aircraft which looks bloody awesome. Pictures are hard to come by; type in 'Hunger Games Hoverplane' on Google Images and there's an aerial shot of one, but that's about it...
As I'm completely new, I am unaware of the timescale involved in making one of these, but I thought it would be appropriate considering the imminent release of 'Catching Fire' and also the popularity of the recent 'Bat-wing' in terms of downloads, a similar type of aircraft...
If no-one's behind me then I won't be too bothered, it is a pretty vague aspect of the trilogy, however I think it would be a really cool thing to fly.
Thanks :D

Yes! The second one I think is clearer, and is the one I would create if I knew how, the first seemingly a different type of hoverplane. I know the photos are vague, but they are there, so is it possible? Performance stats are unavailable, but I heard in film that trains can only still travel at 200mph, so I don't think it can be much faster then comparable aircraft (if there are any) of today if technology hasent evolved speed-wise... also would anyone (or you Blaze) be prepared to create the aircraft, or is it to long and hard a process with the little information available? Thanks :D
