Gorgeous!!  Looks like an early take on the BWB (Blended Wing-Body) configurations being played with today.

I kept thinking I had seen something like that before. A Boeing concept IIRC.
Nice work!

Attractive!  The crew is going to have quite a walk to the cockpit with that ground sit angle.

Seems under-powered to me.

Seriously though it's incredibly imaginative and somehow has a bit of the preying mantis about it.

I like the blue too.

Very nice! For some reason (beyond the blue scheme), your He 111/Dart Herald says 'high-altitude reconnaissance' to me.  :smiley:

Now that one looks quite purposeful; with those wings it also looks "high altitude".  Beautiful!

Yes - high altitude.  Picture as geological mapping with specific instruments for finding likely oil fields.
