Are there many other planes with this design of airframe? I recall seeing a plane similar to this in the air in the mid 70s (in the UK).
It stuck with me as it was unlike any plane I'd seen before, or since, until recently a drone passed overhead which had a similar construction.

This is a Chinese airframe manufacturer, people add their own motors and electronics. https://www.muginuav.com/ https://www.muginuav.com/
