Probably wins the award for least attractive or most improbable of all the vehicles seen in this highly imaginative TV series. The designer is unknown and is likely to stay that way...
One could argue that the design is
not that different from the Martin XB-51 and
you would be right, however there are many reasons why military aircraft designs
(specially true of bombers or fighters) rarely if ever translate into successful
civilian aircraft. The primary reason is that the design criteria are vastly
different, most important of these being economies of operation.
