Hi,
just my fantasy. maybe someone built something similar, or someone can make a drawing. If anyone has any complaints about the layout and arrangement of engines - write, we will discuss it!
sorry for google translation

Nice flying there. Back in 2002 Northrop had a design a bit like this, for NASA Space Launch Initiative.

For space-launch or such the podded engines make sense but for a bomber?

The YRB-49 had externally podded engines to add 'dash' performance but they actually helped stabilize the wing in flight.
