U shaped wings
Some time ago there was a magazine cover showing a twin engine
aircraft
with a U shape in each wing. The U's curved downward then up again
with engines and props within the U.
When did that occur and what magazine was that; anyone know? A
vague memory
points to popular mechanics or popular science.

Custer channel wing?
My thought also. Here are some links:
http://www.custerchannelwing.com/

I would think that an engine out on takeoff would be about 100% fatal. Such
a huge difference in lift would cause an immediate wing over and spin.
That is what effectively killed the Custer Channelwing.
