A roadable canard. Looks like he's done a lot of study and built R/C models.

Hummmm, dreaming here - 2 electric motors of 10kw each to provide ground
propulsion to 85 mph ??? For a 3500 lbs ??? The Ford Hybrid Escape of
similar mass has 1 70kw motor and can only do 25 mph on that motor !!!

I guess they didn't look at the hybrid competition...

10KW electric motors in an airplane? Isn't the range
and altitude limited by the length of the required  extension cord ? :)
