Would a VTOL design like this actually work? (lemmy.world)

The idea is a static body VTOL design that can hover stable in the air, and also go at high speeds very efficiently with wings. Could modify dimensions as needed, but general idea, I'm unsure if there's a major design issue?

Maybe but prop planes have pretty short takeoffs and landings anyway, from the little I know.

The issue you have here is weight, how many engines do you need to power those 4 props.
