This is based on a sketch I did 20 or so years ago. Originally the engines were mounted on the lower wing, well aft but I couldn' get the thrust line stable in SP. It's very angular compared to my original drawing but after launch flies ok. Vmin on landing is about 112 but much higher on takeoff.

Can't remember where the inspiration came from but the Sr71 and B1 comes to mind. Also the FW X1000 in Luft '46. It's more like an exercise in aesthetics rather than flight dynamics. As I said, the jets didn't work where I wanted them to but the props did.
It looks pretty sweet! Quite a sportlike build
