Cute design concept, but I don't see any intake for the purported jets. I'm also somewhat dubious about the aerodynamics of leaving the body dangling in the airstream below the wing - it would make a lot more sense to position the body above the wing, so that the inclined surface facing the windstream (and it would have to be highly inclined to give 200-300lbs lift with that limited surface area) would be smooth. Also, lengthen the resulting lifting body enough to keep the boots out of the airstream. There also doesn't appear to be a huge amount of room for fuel in that package.
Are we sure this is real and not an april-fools joke?
