The XL-484 is another implementation of joined wing configuration for airliner design. In this case for pitch ballance and control used additional canard, so desing belong to three-lifting surface configuration, as Piaggio e.g.Maybe wing closed through engine nacelle not good idea from structural and maintenance consideration, but this reduce surface drag versus configuration with closed on tail tip wing.
