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?

    Your wings would fall off. There is almost no material where they should be the strongest because there is a giant hole in it.

    The center of gravity has to be forward of the side props or you’ll have a hard time balancing it. This means the mass of fuel/battery, engine and payload have to be around there.

    You’ve seen how big the props are on toy drones, helicopters, or the V-22 compared to the rest of the thing? They need to be that big to provide enough lift.
