Insectile madness

The first in a planned series of weird aircraft that fly extremely well, this aircraft looks like an insect, has a top speed of around 350 mph, give or take 50mph, and has a ton of fuel for long flights. What else do you need to know?

Note: the bodywork of this plane was derived from an anonymous person's posting of a plane called "Project Manta 01". However, the wings and the tail are entirely of my own design. If you wish to see the original Manta Project 01, a link is in the specifications.

If you leave a rating (specifically, a low one), then I request that you also leave a comment explaining the reason for said rating: that way, I can work to improve the design to the best of my ability!
