I would love to see the design structure in that wing. That must be one hell of a spar to support both halves of that thing not only in a flapping motion but twisting as well since the horizontal isn't tied all the way across.

the actual space craft reminds me of the x-20 dynasoar prototype of the early 60's.

I especially like the DNA of flight motif on the cowling.
