So, once it really gets going, it's pretty much flying on just those two stubby wings.

Interesting.

I thought it was interesting that they didn't show it doing a vertical takeoff or landing - just taxi on the runway like a conventional aircraft.  Might have sacrificed some vertical ability for the speed.?  Interesting concept.
