Name that Flying Machine
My initial reaction was the York but the engines are wrong of course
perhaps the Breguet 763 Deux Ponts?
perhaps the Breguet 763 Deux Ponts?
I presume it did fly?
Perhaps Boeing 377 Stratocruiser?

One asks to identify the most produced sweep wing fighter jet in the world and suppose it gets hit in a whiplash. But is not.
Then one asks to identify a very rare transport AC of the 1950's (only 12 built before going into oblivion), and it is identified in a flash.
Funny when you think of it.
So it was Asturias56 that came with the correct answer in a flash: Bréguet 763 Provence also known as the "Deux-Ponts".
Noyade being kind enough to provide blueprints as well.
Asturias56, well done, your call!

This is indeed true - - I think we're a bunch of enthusiasts and any enthusiast (see Twitchers) is FAR more interested in the one-off "failure" rather than the vast swarms of the successful.
In my case I think it was all those early Observers etc books of the early '60's - they were desperate to pad themselves out and so when it came to Transports- France - ??? there was only the Nor-atlas and the Deux Ponts
I don't think this one has appeared:-

designed with the help of a major manufacturer from another country - only 1 built I think as obsolescent by the time it was completed - tho the protoype flew for another 12 years or so so obviously well built
Are we in Japan, looking at a Naval aircraft?
not Japan - in fact a long flight from Japan..... the aircraft was designed to be multi-role - land, naval and float. Not sure if it ever tested in any of the watery roles .
I think the intent was to start with an order of 18 but it never made it
