Hi
I think this is a good idea and one I have thought of many a times. However, the reason it has not been copied so far remains obscure. Is it because the technicalities are hard to fathom and replicate, or there are other challenges ahead? 2 such pods with CFTs will give us 8 missiles to play with, reduce the RCS of the plane plus the CFTs will reduce the needs for drop tanks at the 3-5 positions. The question is the drag penalty and whether the engine is powerful enough to do what we want it to do.
