Inspired by Lockheed Flatbed concept. It's just a modified escort bomber. It flies pretty well actually.

detailed explanation video here

copied from Wikipedia:
The Lockheed "Flatbed" was a proposed cargo aircraft design from the 1980s that mounted large loads "in the open" on the back of the aircraft, similar to a flatbed truck. The name "flatbed" was unofficial, as a more formal name was never assigned. Although there was a fair amount of public information released about the design in the early 1980s, the design was never picked up by the US Air Force and disappeared by the mid-80s.
