[QUOTE="RugersGR8, post: 3105898, member: 56"] I'll say up front that I am NO aeronautics engineer or know the slightest about designing planes, but IMHO it would seem very beneficial to make the tail section into a twin boom version rather than the two separate tail sections. I would think that this would greatly reduce the metal fatigue to the center section of the plane's wing(between the left & right fuselage parts of the plane). I would think that if there was loss of power by all engines(either right or left side) that the plane would be very hard to fly/control and the drag by the lost power side would put quite a bit of strain on the powered side.
