Fine example of NASA Nazca aircraft engineering.

Twin fuselage, two cockpits are clearly visible (bubble canopies probably). The semi-round dotted line in the middle is gunner's cockpit or radar dome? The triangular horizontal stabilizer, interesting... Now, just need to understand how this triple wing looked like from another angle. Was it the first (and probably the only) swept wing triplane? The propulsion type is unclear so far. Nazca were good in ceramics, could they use this material in the manufacturing of turbine blades...
