Flying Fortbird or SR-17 Blacktress
Saw this picture on Facebook
I think a John Dell/Ken West collab is needed here

Imagine the sheer terror of trying to fly that thing!

I'm assuming that once in the air the wings and engines will simple shear away from the fuselage.
This would make a great model. We need more 'what ifs'

Found the original photo, which quite appropriately was an alternate engine test, and even more appropriately, Lockheed was connected to it. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Boeing_X...lying_Fortress

I'm trying to figure out where the landing gear goes. The B-17 was a tail dragger, and the SR-71's gear are in the back.

Non-issue, it used antigravity, which at that date was in early infancy and not yet powerful enough to get to flying altitude. The device was installed in the bomb bay for test program, production aircraft would have it dispersed throughout the structure.
