    That’s going to suffer from the same problem as the B-58 Hustler.
    If one of the wingtip engines shuts down or flames out, it’s going to go flat spinning straight into the ground.
    That particularly applies at high altitude in the thin air where the vertical fin isn’t going to have all that much bite.
