No, it couldn't.

Granted, the video title is clickbait-y, but it's an interesting and well researched insight into a unique design. It's worth watching regardless imo

I'll change the submission title so it no longer matches the video.

Without looking at it, I’m going to guess this means if the headline asks a question, the answer is always “No”?

No.

Wait, yes.

What I got from the video is that the few problems there are with this design would be fairly easily solved with modern computer assisted flight, and the airline industry is too conservative to take a risk on putting money into it. Otherwise, the concept seems to actually be better than standard wings.
