A super-narrow MLG and all fuel in bladders above the cabin?
Love it! 🤣👍

Those downward pointing wingtips look rather vulnerable with the plane rolling on the narrow MLG. Would this affect the crosswind landing performance?

Photoshop fantasy,
It's not even made it into Wikipedia, but it is the second aircraft designated SE200.

Pure ridiculous nonsense and foolishness
An old saying: if it looks right, it flies right
That ain't right.

SInce when?
2007 "Ecojet" never got built. Perhaps you mean the NEO.- same old same old with more 'efficient' engines.

The second wing would need a lot more incidence than that, due to the induced downwash from the first wing.
When the third wing, as an elevator on takeoff, pushes down to try to raise the nose, (which is well ahead of the main landing gear), the extra force on the MLG must be a doozy.
Put little wheels on the bottom of the down-turned wingtips, and it can help the X-wind landings, until they hit the ILS boxes and the raised taxiway lights and get bogged in the wet grass.
Lovely smooth clean airflow for the top engine at high AoA, too. Photoshop dreamer.

Interesting how old planes are new planes and new planes are old planes.
