American yes, civil yes, twin-booms no!
Not their first pusher, maybe the second and their next was to be a whole lot bigger and more!!

Fascinating challenge mate! 
Going round in circles here and I mustn't be entering the search criteria correctly in Aerofiles. My immediate thought was a Convair product but it has twin booms. The search goes on...
Early start tomorrow mate?

Yes mate, a single Continental C-65
The only thing you're doing wrong is to go straight past my challenge, look UP 
, but not too far!
Edit: I see it's too late now and you can't say I didn't warn you
Am I going wrong here? I'm thinking B-36

Morning Graeme...not an Ekranoplan but a surprisingly common aircraft....in fact this would have made the Noyade500 You would be hard pushed to visit a major airport without seeing one of these aircraft

You're drawing reminds me of the Fireflash in Thunderbirds
But sadly nothing as exotic...in fact the aircraft is rather ordinary. Stand-by for another explanded pic.

Sorry Ken, just can't grasp what I'm looking at. Now it looks like two jet engines on TOP of the forward fuselage? Very clever challenge indeed.
