And the V tail is about the least implausible element in this fantasy.

New pipe-dream concept studies often feature V-tails to make them look "futuristic", but they rarely make it through to the production versions (on the rare occasions that there actually ARE any production versions) - heck, even the early brochures of the Astude class submarine showed it with an "X-tail" for the same reasons.

But having said that - the "doctor killer" tendency of the V-35 was nothing to do with the "V", and everything to do with the "doctors" IIRC.
