CG cargo aircraft. With all that weight centered on the fuselage with those four giant engines.. would this aircraft fly? And the heat generated by those engines better be properly dissipated.

I like the design though. It looks to me like they took the fuselage of an Mi-26 helicopter and enlarged it and add it some wings and jet engines to it.

I'll believe it when I see it

Russia's new ten thousand ton destroyer. In Russia's "Army 2015" international forum which started June 16, 2015, the static model of a Russian DDG.. It is reported that this has 10,000 displacement destroyer, and will be the future of the Russian Navy's main warships to purchase.

Yes it will fly.. Anything will fly if the wings are big enough for lift.
This cgi rendition however will never ever become reality for one simple reason.
Maintenance! Ther is a reason why turbofans or turboprops are mounted the way they are. Easy to get to, easy to maintain.
Imagined the poor ground crew having to work on these engines! Heck even minor repairs would take forever just because of the location and how it blends into the fuselage.

I don't know if this is real or just some fanboy's dream but this site is reporting that China is building a 4th gen nuclear submarine -- the Type 098.

The above is Chinese media’s report on the submarine. At the same time US satellite has also found that China is building two new-type 098 fourth-generation strategic nuclear submarines.
