Potez P.92 :single seat twin engined jet strike and close-support project
and the engines was mounted above the rear of the fuselage
in a new shape,it was designed to compete Breguet Br.121.

...which in turn become the Jaguar...

Here's the P.92 (from Planeurs et Avions, Christian Castello, le Lerard).

Here's the P.92 (from Planeurs et Avions, Christian Castello, le Lerard).

That design perplexes me? What the are large bulges at the wing roots? Conformal fuel tanks?

The P.92 almost looks like a design that started out with wing root mounted engines, much like the Fouga Magister?

The aft podded engines remind me of the Spanish HA-500 proposal.

Or to the Dornier jet trainer proposal from 1967
(from AviationWeek 11/67 )

That engine installation reminds us of the Boeing Skyfox proposal to re-engine old Lockheed T-33 trainers with a pair of externally-mounted Garret TFE-731 turbofans. Only a single Skyfox prototype was built. It flew a few times but sits idle and engine-less in Medford, Oregon.

 

[MadRat]

I never liked Skyfox because it was a kludge. But you are right, somewhat similar.

I'm surprised there wasn't a single engine version with twin tails or an H-tail like on the A-10. Even dorsal mounted there would be easy access to the engine.
