'kinnelTC - wossa wing planform........?
Hopefully, like wot Bri's silhouette looks like!

This is what I found by digging into B-47's design evolution!

North American, Convair, and Boeing submitted proposals. The first Boeing proposal, the "Model 424", was submitted in January 1944. It was a jet implementation of a conventional straight-wing propeller-driven bomber design, basically a scaled-down version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, powered by four TG-180 turbojets fitted in a pod of two engines on each wing.
Edit: found some illustrations and not convinced, wing shape not right!!
