Since he was last mentioned on here back in 2011, Konstantin aka TheXHS has done a whole lot more wonderful stuff, all very relevent for whiff ideas. Check out his gallery here:

Few examples that caught my eye:











There's pages and pages of these: go look..... 

[Old Wombat]

My only issue is with the SXT-433 (1st pic). That turret behind the cockpit has such a limited arc of fire it's almost useless!

Other than that one "fault" the rest is great!

[Captain Canada]

Wow....nice find ! I went all the way through and I bet there's fifty I'm going to save and print for future reference.

This is the one I was actually looking for, after a google search about flying boats threw it up:

[Captain Canada]

Ooh now that one's nice ! I didn't see it on the page...but I sure like the look of it !

[NARSES2]

That's nice

[Green Dragon]

He's got very Anime style to some of his designs, good stuff!

I notice the artist didn't put national insignia on the drawings. Some clearly should have red stars on the wings. They look so Russian.

That and the positioning of the engines means their thrust is immediately under the wings.  I think that would serve to reduce the lift by speeding the airflow on that side.  Having them exhaust over the top would increase the lift.

Not neccessarily: the exhaust might be deflected by big flaps for take off, as in the Boeing YC-15 and, to an extent, the C-17.

Gives me an idea to use the Airbus A380 as a Space Shuttle carrier.

Don't know if this one ever showed up...
