USSR did the same thing with some LA-9's.
They were Ford PJ-31-1 pulsejets and were a trial. The results were similar to the Soviet experiments on piston engined aircraft with added pulsejets, an increase in top speed when in use, but with excessive fuel consumption and high drag when not, the idea was dropped soon after the tests.

Pulsejet powered aircraft were even tested by Germany, most notably the Me328.
The problem with dual pulsejets, is their cycle oscillation and the inability to synchronize them.
Add to that, the tremendous resonance the engines created, which was really hard on a pilot's body.

Clearly these make sense only on unmanned aircraft.

Landing will be a tad rough. And final. And loud. But other that yes. A single seat commuter. Great idea.

A while back I saw a Ukrainian test drone with a pulse motor - the idea being that it would fly fast, not far, and be cheaper than a small turbojet. Did the project get anywhere?
