Draken + MiG-21 + MiG-29 tail
... as prooven by the A300/767 then 777, big load does not need many engines nowadays ...
How about an advanced Constellation/Starliner with turboprops, swept wings, and swept tail surfaces (retaining three verticals would be optional)?

The thrree-engined Bf110 looks interesting, but I think you've got the center engine too far forward for good weight and balance. I'd move it aft until its firewall is about a foot ahead of the windscreen. Now, the tri-gear variant might need a bit more room to allow for stowing the nose gear, but I'd still move the engine no farther forward than necessary and look at rotating the wheel assembly and stowing it under the pilot.

Interesting, I wonder if they considered a Griffon P-51?YOu wonder how dropping a Griffon in a P-51H would do? Alternatively, a Griffon re-engining on a Cavalier Mustang could get right interesting.

They both have their good and bad points. From aesthetics, I think the upper one looks better. What I'd like to see is a Centauro with a clear rear canopy like that of the Re.2000 prototype and keeping it's stock hood and windscreen.
I really like this !!!
Bouth bubble versions are great,but the one with Griffon is....woooow !!
I’ve always wondered what a Corsair or Fury would look like with a big honk’n turboprop engine. Kind of like the Piper Enforcer conversion of the Mustang. Just throwing this figment of my imagination out there.

Propulsion is not decided yet.
Is it possible to conceive a turbo jet that works as such but a part of its power is derived to a shaft that moves a propeler? Or a turboprop whose exhaust thrust is relevant (more than marginal)?

...Is it possible to conceive a turbo jet that works as such but a part of its power is derived to a shaft that moves a propeler? Or a turboprop whose exhaust thrust is relevant (more than marginal)?
The key word there is "marginal". Exhaust efflux from a turboprop generally produces less that 10% of the total thrust. (Exhaust thrust is also further reduced by onboard systems tapping bleed air from the compressor, etc.) You might imagine gearing a turbine in favour of exhaust thrust but you'd probably be better off going with 'mixed-power' - ie: turboprop + turbojet/fan.
BTW, exhaust thrust also explains why you see power ratings listed other than shp - like ehp (equivalent horsepower) or, less frequently, eshp (equivalent shaft horsepower). Shaft horsepower refers only to the thrust generated by the propeller. But ehp and eshp combine the thrust generated by both the propeller and the exhaust.
All that said, you'd need an exhaust pipe for a turboprop anyway ... so your MustanGina's tailpipe is already good to go :smiley:
Take out the nose engine and replace it with some gunsI second that suggestion! :smiley:

In recent years, South Korean is becoming a main producer and seller of weapons, but in their catalog there is not a real air superiority aircraft. So ... why not produce some related to the current main korean fighter, FA-50 Golden Eagle?
^^^^ Try with Mosquito nose too. 8)
Mosquito FB nose would have been my first choice too. What about the nose from an A-20 Havoc/Boston? It has a similar profile but is a bit narrower in width. The number of machine guns is six in total but two of those machine guns are mounted much lower than the first four so they could be easily removed and patched over.^^^^ Try with Mosquito nose too. 8)Mossie nose is too wide & just replicates the 2-seat idea.
Meteor nose works well - 4 x 20mm guns & single seat -- basically why the Beaufighter was designed.
Cutting the top-deck of the Beaufort brings it back to the side profile of a Blenheim but with a wider fuselage, hence the Beaufighter's new fuselage -- but your profile does look nicer.
Would suggest the RAF mate the Meteor nose to recycled Blenheims as an easy medium fighter.
