That's an interesting concept. *Thanks for posting it. *Looks to me
like the wings might restrict some peripheral vision.

Appears to be a variant of the "box wing" concept. I think Prandtl worked
out the basic concept back in the 1920s.

Well Jim, you got me curious about the "box wing" concept so I did a
little poking around. Very interesting stuff going on. Wish I had a
paying job to have play around with ideas all day like these guys.
Fun stuff I'm sure.
