I am not sure whether these drawings belong to real projects or fantastic illustrations.
Could you help me classify them , please?

mmm, I thought so, but the tail is different (but probably the artist wasn't paying too much attention anyway)

It was one of several conceptual designs from Northrop. I believe one of the following is also one of Justo's planes (#10).

Number 4 (escanear 008) is the Northrop "Project Opossum" nuclear-powered bomber.

I'm wondering if there is any information on this aircraft or it's parasite aircraft

Project Opossum was a nuclear-powered bomber with parasite escorts
