That's a fantastic concept, kind of like an A-10 airliner!

Great stuff and talk about a heck of an intro!

Different twist on twin jet liners.  Looks better as model than artist drawing.  Yes, nicely done.  :smiley:

Looks like Airbus farmed out some design work to Republic back in the 80s!
I love it!

I suspect an unducted-fan version would defeat at least one of the reasons to favor this configuration, the reduced noise due to the engine locations.  The fan blade tips have to generate quite some noise that would not be blocked.
