This is aerodynamically neutral. If you did a knife edge, it would fly normal. If you flew normal, it would fly normal. The possibilities are endless. Hope someone decides to take this concept to the next level

    Well, @lowobservable if you were to go into knife edge flight, it would fly the same, except that yaw would be used as pitch and pitch would be used as yaw. This means, in any roll condition, whether it be inverted or knife edge, you would still have a plane that flies exactly the same.

    What exactly do you mean by aerodynamically neutral? Could you explain further?
