What? A Lightning shoulda be twin-engined? No problem for the Burnelli design team:

Far away from my naive dreams, I shoulda face the bloody urgency in 1945: fighting the Me-163 Komet transsonic fighter... This requires rocket and swept wings, Burnelli or not:

What? I shoulda be more realist? and respect Burnelli's tailplane and contra-props? I fear I am unable to be realistic but any transformation is welcome:
(with 8 micro-engines...)

What do you mean "micro-engines do not exist, Burnelli was designing a huge bomber"? Well I do not understand the meaning of "exist" and I dislike terror-bombing, but I woulda imagine a huge airliner with 8 normal engines:

What a shame!: Google found a Burnelli patent that was neither twin-boom nor flying wing but featuring a simple tail...

A Burnelli-Lightning shoulda match:

Fortunately, the Zwilling derivative restored the twin-boom layout of the Lightning:

Of course, old archives explain that the Uppercu-Burnelli family UB came from the Remington-Burnelli family RB, but there has also been a RB-38, biplane

From the biplane RB-38 woulda come the monoplane XUB-38:

And then the twin-boom YUB-38, now you know almost all of the Burnelli-Lightning...

On Burnelli's main page
http://www.burnelliaircraft.com/
is a true canard with lifting fuselage, and I shoulda make a connection with the Lightning:

There was not enough asymmetry in this topic of mine... I shoulda include more uncommon derivatives.
The UB-38O was a Flying Observation Post:

In 1946 there coulda/woulda/shoulda be a jet derivative of the UB-38O:

Without asymmetry, the result was less sexy:

The rocket derivative was even better for tourism:

In the new Trait d'Union magazine (#270) is an article about the Turboclair ground device made with French Vampire. A Burnelli-Lightning derivative would have been efficient (against fog) for a much longer duration:

Far from ground devices, the very first designs of jet-aircraft had to deal with 2 commands : several units as the power was low, lots of tank room because jets were eating much. The Burnelli layout was good for that:
