Description
A Boeing 707 modified to test the designs of new engines for aircraft. Here it is seen with a dummy of a ramjet engine like what would be used on planes like the SR-71 Blackbird. The horizontal stabilizers feature smaller fins with rudders to counter any effects engines may have on the main rudder.707 base by

The horizontal stabilizer feels like it's gonna take some hit. I'd suggest hanging the 5th engine like this:

It's just a dummy engine so thrust from it won't do any damage. Worst it's going to do is mess with air flow over the lower part of the vertical fin which is why I added the smaller fins and rudders on the outside of the horizontals similar to the fins on the 747 Shuttle transport.
