Lightning, Mustang, Mirage with abnormal number of engines

[Tophe]

With just these profiles, I don't know if the Mustalinas biplanes had 2 or 3 engines (1 ou 2 engines above):

oooh !   Like that Mustalina, a good one to do in plastic !

Does a motorjet (piston + afterburner) also count as 2 engines?

Anyway: piston+turbojet = 2 engines:

The 8-engined B-52 was so impressive at Le Bourget airshow (1969?), French generals wanted 8-engined aircraft also:

Mustangs with rocket engine(s):

Rocket 4-engined Lightnings: (fast!)

When the Lightning became a sailplane, step by step, its big wing was cleaner and cleaner:

More seriously, dear tonton42 sent me (as PM) a photograph of the beautiful Taurus G4 Pipistrelle, so I show here the Lockheed ancestors of it:

There were Twin-Mustang ancestors of the Pipistrelle too, single-engined:

Another Mirage5 with 4 engines, the Mirage 5B1 was copied by pirate engineers "designing" the B-1 Lancer...

The P-82s had a length much bigger than the P-51s, but some twin-engined twin-fuselage P-51s were designed in 1941-44: symmetric P-51ZA, P-51ZC, P-51ZD, P-51ZJ (with the same profile as P-51A, C, D, J hiding the tailplane), asymmetric P-51ZAC, P-51ZDJ:

The Mustangs built in USSR were, like the S Sparka, twin-engined, and fast!:

[Tophe]

This Mirage 5000 derivative of the 5 (with twin jets and twin noses) was not mass produced: the Armée-de-l'Air answered "we could buy 30 copies but we have not the budget to buy the huge ladders to climb aboard..."

With 3 engines, the Pyramid Mustang was an invention of my son (10 y.o.), I just had to make it as drawing:

Jacky's got potential their Tophe.
