Those flowing lines and the embedded engine(s) are the shape of
financial doom. The fuselage can't easily be lengthened or the wing's
aspect ratio changed, and re-engining the thing would probably require
an equally extensive redesign. There are very good economic reasons
why practical airplanes have tubular fuselages and modular engine
placement; beautiful "organically" shaped machines of all sorts
bankrupt the companies that try to market them.
