As you can read in the link I provided, it's based on two 190D-9, which means inline.

This is actually two b24s welded together with a jet engine between them. Hard to see because most of it is outside the picture.

The left wing is a B-17.  Note how the leading edge is swept.  Also how the engine is mounted in its normal position, whereas the B-24 mounted its engines sideways.

Bolting two planes together was an interesting concept and a fairly successful one. While no 190 Zwilling ever got off the drawing board the 109Z got into the prototype stage. The He 111Z was a success. As was the "P-51Z" the F-82 Twin Mustang.

Uh…no.

The oval cowling is because the intake for the oil cooler is on one side while the turbocharger intake is on the other.  Engine mounting/orientation is normal.

:airplane:  Sorry Dave, but this is a B-24 wingtip and engine! The B-17 tapers more at the tip than the 24 and that is not a cowling covering a R-1830 engine. The B-17 engines had more "round" shaped cowling on the engines, and did not protrude from the leading edge like the 24 does.
