It does have some surfaces that look like they could produce lift.
Traveling fast enough it could probably lose thrust and “land” horizontally… Until the legs grab and it tumbles.

If it only did up and down then it wouldn’t be very practical or useful in most applications. There must be some sort of propulsion

Tilting like helicopters and multicopters, you don’t need a dedicated directional thrust, just vectoring
