The somewhat stable Microfighter! Thanks to @BlueCitrus for the engines. The plane is easy to topple over. In the like 1960’s - 1970’s the USAF was looking for an aircraft able to carry fighter escorts with it, because bombers which in the event of nuclear war with the Soviet Union, Bombers would have to fly over the Atlantic, the problem wasnt the bombers but its that its fighter escorts couldnt make the trip so the USAF looked for solutions, and out came the Boeing 747 AAC (Airborne Aircraft Carrier)

Worked on this concept a while back myself. A bit unstable... though looks awesome!
I watched a video about the 747 AAC. It would have been something that could have been a marvel in technology! Sadly the army lost interest and the project was stopped. Pretty cool! Keep up the good work.
