It looks fascinating and aptly described as a Shuriken in shape. Basically four m2f lifting bodies glued together at the four compass cardinal points to create a cross or X. I would fly in it, but then I would fly a porto-let too.

  I just wonder about a craft able to translate 90 degrees of motion without banking at those speeds. Visions of having to ride in G-force compliant seats and the pilot instructing everyone to strap in and brace cause we're gonna carve a turn now! HeHeh.

  Getting passengers to board a regular flying wing or a BWB is going to be a tough enough sell, getting them aboard what looks like a Pinata' might be a wing too far...  ;D
