Single-engined Canberras

[Tophe]

On this version, of single-engined Canberra, they said that bailing out was not recommended for pilots, for a reason related to "fried chicken". Nobody understood but i tell you what they said.

And still one more:

Once again, and almost twin-boom!:

The topic's title spoke of sinhle engined, not single jet, so maybe that created new possibilities...:

Among single-engined Canberra were also asymmetric twin-fuselage ones:

A single engine, a parasol wing, a V-tail, that changes very much the Canberra layout:

The sesquiplane Canberra fighter (with low wing loading) was not the fastest of Canberras but the best for climb rate and maneuverability:

Inverting big wing and small wing improved solidity, with the same performances:

Still another one:

Do I prefer twin-boom airplanes or asymmetric airplanes? Uh, I prefer both features at the same time:

The technical and military reason for such a design is: (uh...) adding one more to the family:.

Correction (after deep thinking over): the reason seems to feature a big tailplane, very effective for control and stability, with no risk at all for its being burnt by the jet flames!

Another one, still different:.

When I first read the title of this thread, the first image that came to my mind was a sort of He-162 arrangement with the engine immediately on top of the fuselage and twin fins...

Two results: [1] I wish I had read the thread earlier and [2] had that idea much, much earlier in the GB

Like this (with smaller pylon)?
