Would expect it to have more lift surface.

Conjoined twins. They share a wing. Like conjoined chickens.

Just pray the pilot in the port and starboard cockpits do not get into an argument about which way to turn the plane.

So what exactly is the purpose of carrying a rocket up to 30,000 feet and launching it? I can’t believe it’s any safer or cheaper than launching from the ground. This whole project just seems...weird.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Damned. A 2017 souped up P-38 Lightning. Gotta get me one of these.

There are a total of 28 tires on this plane. I would be concerned that one misalignment on one side of the plane would pull away from the other half and snap the middle wing structure.

Paul.Allen has a bit of Howard Hughes in him, hopefully not the mentality I’ll part.

Twin fuselages connected by a thin, single joiner? What could possibly go wrong?

[Daniel Ramsey]

I can just imagine conjoined twin A-10 Warthogs.....
