No doubt about it Wingnut, a very common layout for aircraft. Here's the British Arpin and the Dutch Fokker Promoter as further examples...
.... and not forgetting Australia's effort at a similar layout..  | |

Country: | Useful aircraft the Airtruk. Put a few sidewinders and amraams on it and you can rename it Boomerang II...
Graeme, if it is not the Bendix, probably the Convair Skycoach? | |

With a maximum speed of 142mph it compared badly to the Beech Bonanza's 165mph on 165hp. Development was abandoned. | |

Country: | Putting AMRAAMs and Sidewiders on an Airtruk is cheating. Putting lots of children and some australian actor in it is cinema. When I first saw the movie I couldn't believe it was a real aicraft. Australians, eh One for the "form follows function" people. | |

Country: | It had a long multi-cultural history. Designed by an Italian, Luigi Pellarini, for a Sydney based company called Kingsford Smith Aviation Service Pty. Ltd. as the PL-7 tanker, which first flew in September 1956. 
Bennett Aviation Ltd in New Zealand altered the PL-7 to produce the Bennett P.L.11 Airtruck in 1960. 
Bennett then became Waitomo. 
And then Back to Australia in 1965, Transavia Corporation Pty. Ltd. refined the design to become the PL-12 Airtruck.
And you're right Krabat, 'Mad Max' put it in the world spotlight. | |
