Dear Raafif's creativity about asymmetric aircraft (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=852.240 ) made me react with an asymmetric Spitfire, Mk.141, powerful...

A wrong historian spoke of the Spitfire Mk 141Z zwillingfire. Lies... This was not a Spitfire but the Mk 141 of the Twin-Spitfire family:

Thanks Apophenia... :)

In 1975 or 1977, I have read (in our French selling propaganda) that the YF-16 canopy would be broken by a simple bird... Well, as it proved wrong, our old Mirages may have changed their canopies too in a more modern way:

Indeed! Wasn't there a Folland Super-Gnat proposal that was somewhat similar? Either way, it's a really good idea Tophe!

from http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5813.30.html the very first Kikka design which was twin-boom.
I add what-if derivatives : single-engined with the possibility to bale out or eating less pebbles on the ground...

And the Dassault designers have been inspired by the Cutlass, at a time when twin-fins became the rule (YF-12, F-14, F-15, YF-17...), thus the Mirage 5TF:
