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.
