Here I want to include a series of straight wing conventionaly configured early jets and some prop powered designs that I consider related and in some way beautiful and tasty

Nice job YSI, fun.
The XB-42A was revised to a standard type canopy, I'd think a revised XB-43 would have
the same canopy.

^^^^^
I will review my design to use this nice canopy.
Regional liner based in North American B-45 Tornado.

XB-51 is a pretty strange project on its own. So I had to address several issues:
1. I removed the center landing gear and replaced it with a classic one.
2. I replaced the variable incidence wings with some classic ones taken from the F-86 (upscaled).
3. I solved the problem of lack of power by adding a fourth reactor, removing the central engine.
Here we can see 2 versions:
1. Closer to the original XB-51, in TWA colors, preferred by Howard Hughes.
2. More civilized, in Pan Am colors, chosen by Juan Trippe.
