The Hustler? Nah.

Boeing project....

Boeing was selected from among this group and given a contract on 1 July 1948 to conduct further engineering studies. Boeing's initial approach was to mount four turboprop engines on an airframe similar to its B-47: the wing would have less sweepback; the Allison T40-A-2 engines would drive three-blade contra-rotating propellers (i.e. six blades total per engine); the engines to be mounted in nacelles hung from the wings, two per side; the landing gear to be similar to the B-47's tandem gear with outriggers retracting into the outboard engine nacelles.

Nope.

But the design was awarded to the Curtiss-Wright Corporation of Delaware in 1946.
