Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I’d just call it a multicopter
It stands for Vertical Take Off and Landing
The implied part of VTOL is that it’s only vertical for takeoff and landing, and otherwise primarily a horizontally propelled craft.
