If I can dig it up I have a picture of a on fire/smoking pony that is upside down and the only part attached to it is the cockpit.

No, the engineers just had an idea.
Wings increase drag, right? And a whole lot of drag. So on paper this mother could reach 490mph max. at sea level, since saved weight could be used on a stronger enige as well.
Some pilots complained about lack of responsiveness around the roll-axis, as well about a certain sluggishness at low speeds (below 485mph) at takeoffs and landings. ;)
