The first is A-Systems Turbo-Fleetster, another picture from AviationWee 9/1979
probably answers soem questions:

Construction/design proposed by P. M. Flet, president of the A-Systems company has the unusual shape of the tail surfaces. Small cargo plane, that should cost less than 700 000 USD, should be able to carry 2040 kg of cargo for 800 kilometers or 1520 kg of cargo for 2413 km in the cruise speed of 400 km/h.

Hummingbird - is the name of the amateur-built canard aircraft with the two seats, powered by VW engine (2000 cm3) with the pusher propeller. The building process was quite simple (or it can mean that the overall concept is simple). The image shows the significant part of the construction, which is the result of the one month long work of the three amateur designers from the San Francisco. Small plane has the wingspan of 6,09 m, length 3,05 m, empty weight 197 kg, assumed cruise speed 350 km/h and range 1770 km.

The result of the several years study of H. Stutzle is canard - sportsplane with the two seats, called SZG 10. All-metal construction with the winspan of 9,4 m, length of 4,9 m and take off weight 700 kg is powered by two modified BS-R90/6 engines with the joint power of 44 kW. Considering that currently they are finishing the manufacturing of the prototype, we can expect that the first flight can occur in this year.

Why were so few inverted-V tailed, twin-boom airplanes built?
Insufficient tail surface area?
