Looks like it was put together enough that they did testing. What's missing beside a huge check?

That wing concept is very intriguing, I would love to crawl around that thing and see what they did. I've spent the better part of the last three decades immersed in aviation autopilots and I would bet dialing in something like that would be relatively straight forward, a lot of time and fuel for sure. As mentioned earlier, it's all in the wallet!!
