Seems the US Army has taken inspiration from many of the Sci-Fi games in the market. Flying drones supplying unlimited back-up and ammo to enemy teams in games like Half-life2 and Halo have made the absolute inhalation of the enemy a virtual impossibility. V-STAR is a bit more practical design concept with the infamous ducted-fan designs. V-STAR is the HUMVEE of the air, it's designed to resupply US troops with ammo, and food etc during battles - or, naturally, it could be tooled up with an array of deadly weaponry and join in itself. Conventional saucer-like turbo shaft powered fan airframe has a few new bells and whistles added: a separate tail fan for high speed and a diamond-shaped box wing for efficient lift at speed. The designers also hope to drastically improve fuel efficiency using a proprietary "recuperator" to harvest waste heat from the turbine exhausts and put it back into the engine at the intake.

Weirdly, the flying Hummer's payload bay is situated inside the central hub of the hover fans. This is intended to benefit the craft's stability. The box wing also has pop-out winglets for better lift at low speeds. At full speed it can hover in midair or zoom along at up to 450 mph. I for one fail to see the popularity of the Hummer and the Flying hummer to soar after the recent blowup in fuel prices.
