I have found a weird twin-boom design, of 1929, by Eddie Rickenbacker, at
http://blog.modernmechanix.com/capt-rickenbackers-airplane-of-the-future/
and I have imagined Lightning dérivatives of it:

And, as doctors said that sitting is bad for the pilots' spine, aircraft were designed with pilots standing or lying (head first or feet first):

Here's a twin-boomer for you, Tophe!

Beriev Be-32 design

Cheers,

Logan

nice twin boomer, with 4 engines : the outer ones are very close to the tip of the wings

Thanks Logan for the picture, and for the link explaining this is a 1965 project. I guess I will soon invent a 1945 derivative. Thanks again!

Here are the Lightning-cargos C-38B-32/33/34 (with improved rear access for loading/unloading)...

The Zwilling XP-54 was fast...

I like!

Thanks!
Of course, Lockheed made similar Twin-Lightnings, and more...

Thanks to the Big Gimper's invention of a F-20XL at http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=6257.0

here is a Mirage 5 XL: :)

Liking P-54Z and Mirage 5 XL :)

The Mirage 5XL is awesome. Hmmm .... can it be built?

Tophe · « **Reply #837 on:** April 24, 2016, 11:38:21 AM »

Thanks!

For building the Mirage 5XL, well, this would be a hard work in scratch, only someone like the Big Gimper could do it!

We can build anything, even the most sensible.

Uh, I know the famous wording "yes we can!" while... as far as I am concerned, I am unable to do it. The wiser would be to say "some of us can"...

The Dornier Do-118 was almost "triple-hull" (alas it was not designed, nor built of course):

Indeed! Great concept Tophe :)

Thanks!

The Half-asymmetric Bv-141Hs would have been test-beds for the fully asymmetric Bv-141:

It seems the Asymmetric-Dakota C-47S was a derivative of the push-pull Twin-Dakota C-147P:

Love the Twin-Dak :)

Tophe · « **Reply #846 on:** May 24, 2016, 02:26:34 AM »

Thanks!

and here are the asymmetric Spitfire (Mk.61) and asymmetric Twin-Spitfire (Mk.122):

apophenia · « **Reply #847 on:** May 24, 2016, 09:44:09 AM »

Digging those asymmetric Spitfires :) Are those cockpit/nose sections from the Supermarine Attacker jet?

Tophe · « **Reply #848 on:** May 24, 2016, 10:49:56 AM »

Thanks!
Well, the cockpit is just the Spitfire Mk.22 one moved forward free of engine there now (not completely free though as military men love a free nose for something else than a pilot or wheel)...

Tophe · « **Reply #849 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:58:43 PM »

A P-47ZD Thunder-Yassin that I imagine bombing Deir Yassin...
