EE Twin-Lightning

And there is a related symmetric one:

The rear of the Twin-Lightning featured a very unique layout:

It was also good to have, symmetric, 2 fuselages and a single tail in between (like on the Belyayev DB-LK):

The EE Twin-Lightning was actually built and flown, here is a photographic evidence:

There was also a version with 2 fuselages and 2 pods:

And an asymmetric derivative:

And a simplified one, cheaper:

Going back to symmetry again:

And a double business jet, long range:

I have seen that several RC F-16s have twin pusher propellers, Twin-Lightnings could be that way too:

[Tophe]

No need of lateral pushers when a twin-fuselage layout is used, tail pushers work as well:

RC enthusiasts are used to apply their layout principle to any basis, like an electric propeller for a F-16 or an helicopter basis to a Twin-Lightning, similarly. This is not crazy, this is whif spirit in the RC universe:

Among Twin Lightnings, there was also a toon couple of Siamese twin sisters, with 4 eyes, not only 2 noses:

I am glad I found another couple of Twin-Lightning cartoon sisters:

a Tophe's topic without twin-boomer, is it possible?
Well, sometimes the famous Twin-Mustang (twin-fuselage, "twin-plane") is qualified as twin-boom, but this is incorrect according to several definitions of (genuine) twin-boom.
So let me present AND REJECT a twin-boom EE Lightning:

then ACCEPT a (twin-boom) EE Twin-Lightning:
