I love the idea of that thing. Take the biggest fuckoff engine you can get and add just enough aerodynamics to allow it to fly.
Wouldn't want to fly it myself though.

Apparently it had more lift if you rolled it on its side
Relatedly: The F-4 Phantom was said to prove the aerodynamic principle that with enough power you can fly a brick.
