The Terran Viking is a mech that can operate on the ground and switch to an air-superiority fighter whenever needed. Obviously this is from a game, but I'm curious if that type of technology is possible in the real world.
Can it?

That doesn't look very aerodynamic. You'd really have to redesign the wings on that thing to make it practical. Also the weight distribution seems off. If you redesign some things, I guess it could be done. It don't be easy and it probably wouldn't work that well as a mech or aircraft, but you need some trade offs.
