I've not see one of those (
in person), but something very similar was at a Hoverrally once and it could not fly in a straight line, it kept swaying right and then left.
I suspect the flat sides were acting like a rudder in the crosswind and kept redirecting the nose/bow. I do not recall if it had the vertical stabilizers.

A new concept car has been presented by a French designer Dimitri Bez. Hexa is a solar-powered car, featuring an unusual roof covered in dimples. The unique roof surface, inspired by a golf ball, helps to increase the vehicle’s aerodynamics, efficiency, reduce its drag and limit any heat transfer.
