Thoughts on the RoidVark.

Imagine the F-111, but somewhat longer. About 6-8 meters.

With a pair of over and under engines, how many pounds of thrust would that be? And would you think it would be a reliable low altitude strike aircraft?

you mean the FB-111H?

mightve been, but i do like the Bone better.....

No.

I'm talking a pair of over and under engines like the British electric lightning. So, 4 engines total.

You can't just take a design like the F-111 and slap additional engines on top of the existing ones. That would completely destroy the aerodynamics, especially as it is a lifting body design. And I don't even want to think about the maintanance nightmare it would create.

The only four engine designs with four engines in a configuration where two of them were on top of each other that I know of, had them in pods in the wings. And even they did not get to actual production...

So no, not a feasable idea, sorry.
