What typ of Airplane is this ?

Post by kdej »

Hello.

Today in some tv series, i saw an airplane that looked like a boeing 747.
But it had 2 engines connected together (side by side, so next to each other) under the wings.
(instead of 2 seperate engines under the wings like normal (4 in total)

Anyone knows more about this airplane typ ?
I never saw it before !

No, it certainly cannot fly like this (except in the movie of course). The engines are fake.
