I was interested in the very same question for awhile. Scott tents are similar to what you describe. They are usually sledded around on Nansen sleds with non-collabsible poles and they set up fast.

I could never get my small brain around how to collapse those 8 ft poles down to a reasonable size to fit on a small sled and still keep it all together for a reasonable assembly time. I suspect it is possible though. A handful of companies still make them. Here's one:
