I downloaded Grahams B-29 source and put 6 4000lb thrust turbojets on it.If the war had gone on the airforce might have done this to have a jet powered heavy bomber.Max speed is 408 mph.

Thanks guys,as far as the way she handles she is a bit sluggish in turns but I suspect it would be that way in real life.

There actually was an bomber like that. In the late 50's Orenda Engines put two turbojets onto a Lancaster. The so called "super-lanc" was quite fast and got some head turns from a USAF airbase in upstate New York. It was destroyed in a Hanger fire before the company went under.

back in the fiftie, remember how the russians took this B-29's and manufactured them without permission??? well thats wasnt the end, they later made a omber based on the B-29, i saw it in a book, dont remember the name of the a/c but it had 4 turbojets under the wings..... kinda crazy ;D lol if u want i can dig up te 3 views for a designer ;D (im busy already :( )
