It's ridiculous. Where do you think CG would be in relation to CL?

It's the progenitor of the Varieze and the Longeze, it's the Supereze.

No, see the bombs go all the way in the back and after you drop them the wing with the engines rotates and the props reverse pitch. Many the Luftwaffe pilot was buffaloed by this top secret design, flying an interception course towards where the bomber had been instead of where it was going.
