As I recall, the basic design of that isn't new at all. IIRC, the Navy did some
experiments with extremely similar-shaped manned aircraft back in the '50s or
the '60s. I don't recall what happened to it, but it seems to have been junked
as impracticle or unnecessary. I'd be curious to see how one actually flies, if
it lives up to the hype on that website..

Please see:
Cypher
DragonStalker
two Unmanned Aerial vehicles for recon in testing and devolopment with the US
Military. The Cypher is being looked at for urban warfare conditions to scout
ahead of say Rangers or SEALs.

I wasn't trying to point out anything new, just something that might be fun to
build...
