Such a thing WAS made, but not by Beech. In the good old days, when
you could do ANYTHING on field approvals, several singles were turned
into twins. Those were the days that gave rise to the twin TriPacer,
the twin Navion, and the twin Bonanza.

Now don't confuse this with the 'real' Twin Bonanza built by Beech,
which was a cabin clas twin with two very loud geared engines and a
conventional tail.

The twin Bonanza was a V-tail Bonanza fuselage with the nose engine
removed ant two engine nacelles installed on the wings. Vmc was VERY
high due to limited ruddervator authority, but it was said to be a good
flyer.

Several of these were built, and I believe a couple are still flying.
One of the aviation rags did a story on them a few years ago.
