H-6I

Well, that truly made my day, the H-6I is quite well known since some time, but I did not know that it actually flew and also it was only known from only one image.

The profile below was drawn by a friend - JP. Santiago - for my book "Dragon's Wings"

Was a concept for an improved development of the H-6 powered by 4 Spey 512 engines ...

Here from my book:

I think using D30kp2 (WS-18) concept is much cheaper plus it offer more power compare to WS-9 if with 2 engines.
