The link does not work anymore, it seems.
But I found extra pictures in the French teenage magazine "MonQuotidien" #4 269. Folding wings are for storage in a garage. Does someone know if it was roadable?

Not that I've heard, but I could be wrong.

The link works fine.

I think it's supposed to be kept on super-yachts, one reason for the folding.

It is not roadable.
Main reason for wing folding is that you can put it on a trailer and bring it with you on vacation just like a SeaDoo.
Key engineers on the team are from Scaled Composites.
Significant delays in getting it FAA certified, they hope to have this completed late this year.

"Main reason for wing folding is that you can put it on a trailer and bring it with you on vacation"

And the fees for a place in a hangar can be substantially reduced. That's the reason, that many UL
have folding wings.
