The idea is a static body VTOL design that can hover stable in the air, and also go at high speeds very efficiently with wings. Could modify dimensions as needed, but general idea, I’m unsure if there’s a major design issue?

Or ways to pivot them to horizontal and use them for forward thrust…
But, honestly, I think ones like OP’s could work relatively well if you engineered the hell out of the aerodynamics and made sure that the openings would be inside slipstream ‘shadows’ and not exposed to much airflow while in forward motion. That could only be well-optimized for one airspeed, though, so it wouldn’t be practical for an aircraft that wants to fly at different speeds a lot. But for one intended to always cruise at a set speed, I think it could work.
Other criticisms are still totally valid, though.
