And Secretprojects is saying a two-seat P-38 trainer, coded T-38, was considered then cancelled.
Let me imagine the XT-38, YT-38, ZT-38:

Thanks!

The Burnelli/CCF CBY-3 Loadmaster may have been the best twin-engined cargo ever! but... just a 2-engine proposal failed to convince many customers, so a single-engine version and a 3-engined version were added:

Love the CCF CBY-3 variants :) How about a Loadmaster with twin engines mounted on top of the vertical tails (and an extra nose- loading door)?

Thanks Apophenia!

For weight centering reasons, the CBY-3.4 was modified, using pylons

To demonstrate his lifting fuselage layout was the best, Eng. Burnelli proposed to build a normal CBadY-3, to compare and judge objectively:

Tophe · « **Reply #982 on:** September 03, 2017, 05:13:08 PM »

The Burnelli layout was sometimes called "flying wing" and not to be classified among twin-boomers, some "improvement" was necessary:

In 1939, the Fokker G.1 was seen as the best fighter in the World, but... too expensive, so a single-engined version, using the same manufacturing tools (so: asymmetric...), was proposed:

apophenia · « **Reply #984 on:** September 12, 2017, 05:45:23 AM »

Like that lop-sided Fokker

Thanks!
And do you know the twin-tail-boom Mirage? (TT-tail):

Tophe · « **Reply #986 on:** October 11, 2017, 04:23:42 PM »

I have downloaded the 2,753 pictures on my Photobucket account, and I have started building a new site with them:
http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/miraj_&.htm
I have included new ones also, not going on PhotoBucket anymore, the twin-boom Mirage of yesterday, and a modified Twin-Kfir today. For this one, I would like to add the source, but Google does not find it anymore. It seems this is the picture that inspired Italeri box art but without Serial Nr on the fin.

A slightly modified "Mirage-bipoutre" (twin-boom Mirage):

finsrin · « **Reply #988 on:** October 12, 2017, 11:06:15 AM »

Mirage 5 Bip2 and CBY-3.5 are particularly interesting concepts with styrene build potential

Tophe · « **Reply #989 on:** October 12, 2017, 12:40:34 PM »

Thanks! And here is another twin-boom Mirage: with separate tails "à-la-He111Z":

Of your two Mirage concepts, I really like the BIP2 best. Finsrin's right, it would make for a really interesting modification to a styrene Mirage model. Nice work!

Thanks!

When appeared the YF-107 Ultra-Sabre (after the F-100 Super-Sabre, after the F-86 Sabre), Dassault engineers proposed the Ultra-Mirage 507 (after the Super-Mirage 500, after the Mirage 5):

AXOR · « **Reply #992 on:** October 21, 2017, 04:23:04 PM »

Looks a little bit weird but interesting,I also like Mirage 5 Bip'

Thanks Alex!

I forgot: did you know the Mirage-500?

Tophe · « **Reply #994 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:23:53 PM »

And the final design was the Top-Mirage 508:

ericr · « **Reply #995 on:** October 21, 2017, 07:27:49 PM »

wah !

this one seems quite buildable !

(and, if I remember well, I do have 3 Mirages in my stash somewhere ...

)

AXOR · « **Reply #996 on:** October 22, 2017, 05:32:39 AM »

Lovely...the last one is quite impressive !

Empty Handed · « **Reply #997 on:** October 22, 2017, 05:26:38 PM »

Thought provoking ideas here. I particularly like the Ultra-Mirage with the dorsal intake!

Give it 3 engines and call it a "Viper"
