  • What a/c is in this photo?

    Could it just be a poorly done mock up?

    It looks like a 747 with an external fuel tank and 2 engines squashed togeather, with the letters "POL" on them. I'll say its fake.

      Is that even possible? Youd need to reengineer the wing.

          Haha, that's exactly what I thought, and I was like "nah, I am just weird - let me not post that". But seriously, I do think that the pic is of the plane that was to debut in the Casino Royale film. IIRC, it was to be protoype from "Skyfleet", a start-up aviation manufacturer.
          Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

            Here we go. It was a fake prototype modified froma 742 (I thought it looked like a 747)

                ^Well, it could serve the USAF with some ideas for a B-52 engine replacement . That said, the thing I find more horrible in that pic is the Phaeton blocking parts of the engines .
