You can see how they have two props that telescope out of the wing tips in the upper right picture on that page. Here is a video of their first flight:
Hai i've been actually thinking it even further than that. A bit like hybrid plane that you would have a plane shape having a pusher motor like in stryker/skyfun and then having quad rotor in wings. This way you could fly safe and far in airplane mode but you could also transform flight mode as quad copter.
Would be rather good for shortrange and longrange missions.
