While my son was sleeping, I "repaired" differently the aircraft he broke: the removed tailplanes are now canard (temporarily with adhesive tape):

And this is an asymmetric twin-engined airliner: pods 1 & 3 are jet-less anymore, just there for balance. My breaking son shows me the next generation will be dreamers too...

Thanks!
So I kept on the reverted wings and went back to canard to match this topic's title.

It seems now I have a

favorite, Tophe! There's just something about those canards that make this so eye-catching!
Once again, I am humbled by your boundless imagination!

And a true creation of my 2-year-old son: the Boeing 747J (J for JackyLiner) is a 3-engined asymmetric flying wing:

I must congratulate you on raising yet another generation for this crazy hobby, mon ami!
Definitely a "chip off the old block" and following in his father's footsteps nicely!

After further playing, my son has created what may be the final Boeing 747 design: 747S, a simple twin-jet in the Boeing 737/757/767/777 family. Yes, it is an asymmetric flying wing, but Jacky is my son...

Make it a pivoting oblique wing and you really have something believe able as a future airliner.

Or maybe an X-wing jumbo, two regular wings right behind two forward swept ones. Leave the vert tail, but the horizontal tailplanes could go. Two engines on the front forward swept and two on the back pair. Why should Sukhoi Berkut drivers have all the forward swept fun.
Maybe two sets of forward swept? Could have luxury seating combined with the maneuverability of a Pitts'

I reckon you'll appreciate P&W's new asymmetric 747SP engine testbed:

I have to admit that my first thought when I saw it was "Damn, Tophe's going to love it!" I note from the article that the aircraft was modfied by my former empployer down in Waco who had plenty of experience with the 747SP after modifying one into the SOFIA flying observatory.

Testbeds are not a new idea. There is a 757 with a side mount engine test station used here Locally (Tempe Az.) by Honeywell Aerospace.
This machine supercedes an 720 and L-1011 used earlier.
