The early twin jet engine design followed the early twin engined "fighter" design, in that two engines were needed for range and to carry the weight of the airframe.That's what I was talking about. Perhaps a bit too much hyperbole. I was thinking about its use of non strategic materials.
Edit: I also thought that a replacement fighter/interceptor would imply heavy firepower. Hence a twin engine design.
The He178 was able to fly with a single HeS3 because of it's size. It weighed about 3,500 pounds empty.
