Saw some of them - VERY Nice! (Always thought the Cessna O-2 and the Dornier 335 & Do 18 were good ideas if the coolimg problems could be worked out.
On the He177. I figured it might cut down on those engine fires that Heinkel blamed on Hermann G. interfering with designs and wanted 4 rngines in 2 nacelles.
Of course in MY timeline, Fat Hermann managed to get himself offed in WW1 when he could still FIT into the cockpit of a fighter plane
(I also postulate that crazy 'Dolf DID get shot by that British sniper in WW1
)
Looks great but I wonder if it wouldnt have the same problem as the original
Keep the shorter wing span while avoiding the headaches that coupled engines usually brings
probably, because fokker had a continuous cooling problem with the rear engine on their plane with that configuration

NICE looking plane! Probably would have had a better survival rate than the actual Defiant.
I always thought the Defiant and other turret only "fighters" were nuts.
Could never understand how the people who knew the Bristol F.2 (Brisfit) history and operatiions. could POSSIBLY conceive of 'fighters' that had NO forward armament.
The 'Brisfit' had guns forward AND rear and after a doctrine/tactic change (where the pilot flew it as a FIGHTER instead of keeping it stable for the the gunner) was highly successful in WW1
The 'Brisfit' hung around until 1932 in the RAF

There is an active thread about the EE Lightning and one idea thats come up is the F106 in service with the RAF - Would anyone be interested in drawing that?
EE Lightining what-if thread
... that might also be described as 'make the British-only jets great again' :) The 'other Lightning' was a climbing monster, fulfilling the requirement in that regard. What it was not was a commercial success, unlike the earlier jets, like the Meteor, Venom, Vampire or Hunter - club of the...

I'd wanted to see what a Yak-44 would look like flying for Israel, my previous post contains the results. Here's something to soothe your outrage, an Israeli Stoof with a Roof.
