I call this traction propulsion. This consist of two large diameter
tubular rotating carbon fiber spars driving a thin rubber belt
with a lot of long thin aluminum hat section cleats attached.

It becomes 100% efficient at high speeds and skin friction drag
on the lower wing skin is eliminated. Normal flaps and ailerons
are used. The propeller and PSRU are eliminated.

The 13B turbo rotary engine transversely  buried in the fuselage
drives both rotating spars with a long cog belt.

I am setting up a web site and I am looking for investors.

Looks like this one might be pitch-sensitive.  have you thought about 
incorporating a similarly designed stabilator?
