I advise you to look into the Brabazon
project instead of babbling balls. It was

the forerunner of "every" modern
airliner

Strange most "modern airliners" look like they are direct descendants of
the
Dash 80, two to four podded engines located on the wing.

Read what I wrote about the Brabazon 1

and too far ahead of its time, being too big.

"far ahead", the truth is the design was obsolete before the first metal
was
cut. As for being too big, that would be a claim that could be made about
the XC-99 and be valid.

Brabazon was a project of three. Two were made, one never. For the time
not bad at all. 50% of the money spend on Brabazon 1 was infrastructure.
The equipment and the large hangar were used by Concorde. Brabazon was
pioneering and set the pattern for all others in most ways.
