With those extra engines and to help with the weight, the tail could then be redesigned to carry various aerials,
the T tail could be dropped with the engine removal and a more pleasant design look produced.




There, that's getting close to erm ideal


A bit rough, but only a quickie

Looks like a thing of beauty. Let me guesstimate - £1bn development costs and 20-year lead time. I still think we could use the Sunderland from the RAF museum - ideal for picking up drowning immigrants as well. True multi-mission.
