Found this mystery design at the NTRS. The model looks rather Sci-Fi to me.

R. D Vogler, 'Ground-effects investigation of a STOL air- sea transport model with blowing over the canard and wing flaps
Abstract:
Compressed air was used for blowing over the flaps of the canard and wing. The total mass flow over the flaps was varied as well as the distribution of the flow between the canard and wing. Data were obtained through an angle-of-attack range and an angle-of-sideslip range with the model at various heights above a moving ground plane. Interference effects between canard and wing were obtained by comparing complete model data with data for the wing alone and canard alone.
