I actually did that first but then changed it, I thought it be better with two since I had read that the Germans had problems with engines flaming out.

But 2 jets, so close, might close problems with overheating. I also think it looks cooler, imho.
Went back and added a front view of the Me-262 zwilling and I think you're right, it does look cooler.But 2 jets, so close, might close problems with overheating. I also think it looks cooler, imho.
Bit of a necro but it just struck me. You could launch both ET at the same time - cut down on a Saturn VB launch.
S-IC...137ft
S-II...81 ft
LV/ET adapter...10ft
ET1...55 feet (trimming lower boost structure and upper skirt off S-II)
Tank Lattice connector...10 ft
ET2...55 ft
Payload shroud...46 ft (trimmed version of Skylab payload shroud)
Gives total rocket height of 394ft - within the maximum dimensions of the VAB. I’ve estimated the ET size but perhaps this is a approach that would be adopted and the tanks sized for this. Additionally some flex in the payload shroud size and the adapter and connector. Saturn VB could lift the tanks empty weight easily.
I'm no engineer but would two engines so close together have problems with yaw and exhaust?Nakajima Kikka Zwilling.
There was a four engine prototype of the Ardado Ar-234 that had two engines on each wing mounted together, its where I got the idea from.Nope - just look at the B-52 for example
I hate to quote one of my own post but is it just me or does the three engine Me-262 Zwilling look a little like something from Star Wars?I actually did that first but then changed it, I thought it be better with two since I had read that the Germans had problems with engines flaming out.
It something I just noticed and I don't know why it reminds me of SW, I think there was a Zwilling like ship in one of the films but I cant remember which one.
It was a legit question, most aircraft don't mount their engines together and no aircraft of the last ten years that I know of does so, so its probably not the best way to mount them.
Yes indeed. Isn't she a beauty?
You are talking about the Arado 234C prototype with 4 BMW 003A-1 (also prototype level engines). First 4 jet engine plane

Absolutely love every version of that plane, one of my favourites ever. Even converted one to Warhammer 40k!
