I am just curious what you think about this concept.

Is it a flying wing?
Is it a tailless airplane?
Or ... i don't give a f@@@, it is just a cool thing.

Personally, i see it as a flying wing. Why? Well, it is kind of a swept flying wing with its wash-out (or twist) mainly in the outer section. Twist is not-lineair. It is ...eh ... in steps.

Beside the BV designs (BV212, BV215), the Skoda-Kauda SL6 and Spaceship One, are there any other designs using this technique?

Last question: in my website i call these "tails on tip", i saw somebody naming it scissor wingtip controls. Does it have some official name?
