Not all that overly fantastic, as far as designs go.
Not original, either. Or rather, not unique.
US had a very similar model but scrapped it because it didn't perform as well as expected.
It's a design that makes sense for liesurely aviation, but isn't really the best at hash combat regimes. The canard configuration allows for self-correcting stalls (the canards stall first, nose drops, prevents stall on main wings) but generally speaking that's not usually what you want a high-performance fighter to do.
I loved the later Beechcraft design, the Starship. Sad to see they went out of business (or bankrupt, or whatever).
Also, keep in mind canards are not high-tech. They're old tech. Wright flyer, baby!
