Hi Everybody

cri-cri-twin-engined-airplane.jpg

I was thinking on a Verhees delta with this engine setup For example using two AIxro XR50 wanker, sorry wankel engines.
To make the idea even more stupid the engine support arm fairings could act as canards rotating around around a boom.
Makes the thrustline offset the design unfeasible on a delta due to the pitching moments introduced by that offset?
I bet the answer is yes. Otherwise the concept would have several really exciting benefits.
