YB-49 was 8 engined prototype jet bomber after WW2. In this illustraion, it looks like 6 engined aircraft but actually 2 more engines are hidden by its vertical wings on each sides. All-wing aircraft RCS is short but it is difficult to control as YB-49 utilized YB-35 wing body just as it was. New wing structure redesigned was needed for it.
