Excellent detail on the M.20 plan. I usually only find crude three views. I can build from these.

Miles M.35 Libellula

 

[johnbr]

Already in 1943 George Miles designed a 20 seat supersonic passenger aircraft, based on
the experiences with the "Libellulas". Powered by a group of jet engines in the rear fuselage,
fed by a ventral intake, the forward wing would have had a span of 13,7m, the rear wing of
22,3m, length 30,2m and MTOW 36 tons. Expected cruise speed was 1.2 Mach.

Are they still a company that is still around? Seems like they had some good ideas.
