Well I thought it looked like a Russian rocket fighter and it rang a bell, and so went looking for something else entirely, but then stumbled by accident across the Florov 4302, which I was surprised to see was actually built!

Does the fact that it seems to be carrying F4D Skyrays mean its a Douglas? Otherwise I would think it looks like Convair drew it.
I've never seen a picture but I know that Douglas designed a large bomber that was also able to carry the F4D, or the X-3 for some reason, and this project seems to fit that description, so, a complete stab in the dark, but I'll nominate the Douglas 1211

Good morning to you too, and congratulations. Quite a run on one-guess-wonders we seem to be on, I'm sure you are about to change that skytrain
I wonder why they made it look as if the engines were on top of the wing in the plan view

Hi everyone. I've missed all the fun.
I wonder why they made it look as if the engines were on top of the wing in the plan view
Looking closely, the engine nacelle outline behind the wing leading edge is dashed, which I suppose indicates they are on the lower surface.

Thanks HD...it kind of reminded me of an airliner adaption of the McDonnell 220, particularly the tail:
Back to the weird and wonderful....will it be another one-hit wonder?

I was wondering what the McDonnell 220 would look like with 2 engines...I adjusted the pylons as well! Just need to reduce the wing sweep and you have a baby C100!

Its a big square! You're clearly better at this than me.....! Mind you I did adjust the pylons in my version to look more like the C100. Make's a nice business jet...wonder if McDonnell thought about a 2 engine option?
Are you in need of a clue for the challenge?
In case readers are wondering why I sent this, it was in response to a previous post which has subsequently been withdrawn.
