Here's one that might be of interest to Simon who likes to build aircraft with a difference the Boeing YC-14 it is an unusual looking beast that should fly nicely with plenty of power having two engines

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

The YC14 has its turbo fans over the top of the wing  so the exhaust is diverted over the big flaps. Could interesting to se what the effect is but the fact that is has remained a Y classification I suspect means the complexity does not justify the benefits.
It first flew in 1976 aiming to replace the Hercules but they are still making them 48 years later!
