The only thing I'm on at present is a huge amount of 3,7-dimethylxanthine, which shouldn't be hallucinogenic...

Edit:
(Just good ol' chocolate, in case you were wondering...)

3,7-dimethylxanthine
I know. It keeps me awake if I take it in the evening, and I used to get it as a kid for asthma.

What happened to the main L/G of your moose?

It's there... just a little hidden...
Not a moose, btw: seems like the reindeer has been done at a slight angle so the main gear is hidden behind the fuselage...

Could the top "wings" be canards?

Yep! Not control-canards though, as far as I can infer from the reindeer-ing...

Makes one wonder if one could get a picture like that even from a Piaggio P-180 if one would take it from a weird enough an angle.

(Please note the use of the royal "one" as an homage to the occasion).

On the other hand, your mentioning green could also refer to the father-in-law-in-spe of the occasion object, and have electric engines .

Hi Reg!

Far stockier than an Avanti, which btw isn't a transport in the sense of this one, which is someting like a "winged container"...
Even far squattier than a Buffalo.
Don't know how big, but not very big, quite the contrary

Electric? Hybrid afaik!

Edit: the right query and this should be now a piece of cake

Edit^2: I don't get the connection between either future father-in-law and electric engines... neither is called Edison nor Volta nor Tesla and I don't think that Party Pieces manufactures engines... what am I missing with your subtle logic?

There was no logic nor subtlety in what I said. The reference was to H.R.H The Green Farmer.

Must Giggle something on bulkiness now .

Edit: Oh, no! Ohmegod! Is your challenge an airship?

Edit 2: I don't see our usual Britons on the thread. Is there something interesting in the telly?

Nope, I think it's metal and composites.
And if by bulky you mean big-ish, well, not really.
Light transport. Very Light. Green. Hybrid.

Edit: aaaah, green farming, yes! Well, the sun is also important here...

Thanks HP and Guten tag Reg!

I'll put up a challenge in a few minutes, dropped packets permitting!

That was a weird bugger, but a good challenge ! All my perspective angst is resolved by the photos on that site. Too slow to follow it up at the moment, do you know what became of it?

Here it is then, another photo of a model, but rest assured, this one is real and there are plenty of photos of the real thing on the web, just that this was the easiest to render suitable for a silhouette (well almost)

Nope...
The same story keeps being posted in a lot of blogs (along with other buzzword-filled ground-breaking out-of-the-box concepts, I also saw an eggbeater of theirs), but nothing more.
