Does this Thunderbird have a name.

QF-85C UCAVs mated with a new B-36 variant?

Kill the two RPVs, convert it from a seaplane to a Wing in Ground Effect and make it smaller. It might go from full bottle to two drinks if scale model works.

This was in the August 1982 Proceedings.

It's an unusual idea, but it's not physically impossible. Would it work tactically/operationally? I don't know.
