EE Twin-Lightning

[Tophe]

Of course there were also canard Twin-Lightnings, here is the first one:

And here is another one, more asymmetric:

A little fantasy... (or "more and more crazy")

Then a major change: Forward Swept Wing Twin-Lightning

All the drawings above were too much serious, boring, let us dream!
To play in a Hollywood film the role of a P-82 Twin-Mustang (all true ones having been destroyed in the 20th century) a Twin-Lightning is now transformed with success!

There was a unique prototype of Twin-Lightning with double nose and single tail, inspired maybe by the old Byelyayev DB-LK:

Before the weird Mk.10 was the Mk.9, still with twin noses and a single tail but without twin lateral air intakes:

Opposite: a single nose and double tails (4 jets from a single air-intake!):

The layout is better explained on this close version:

The previous ones were derivatives of a more complicated one:

In "Mk.8A", the letter A was meaning Asymmetric:

[Tophe]

The "Mk.8B" was not symmetric (nor Bsymmetric either) but letter A was not available anymore:

[Tophe]

The "Mk.16B" was kinda double-8B (a Twintwin-Lightning?), symmetric anyway:

Uh, sorry I presented just simplified drawings of mine as jokes, but I should also show a detailed plan, of the most classical Twin-Lightning for example:

More distant fuselages were possible but less solid:
