CG cargo aircraft. With all that weight centered on the fuselage with those four giant engines.. would this aircraft fly? And the heat generated by those engines better be properly dissipated.

I like the design though. It looks to me like they took the fuselage of an Mi-26 helicopter and enlarged it and add it some wings and jet engines to it.
Oh, not a Mi-26 !!?? ... from what I read it is a nice what if based on these latest reports about a closer Sino-Ukrainian cooperation ... and here based on the An-225 !

I really don't see any advantage to blending the engines into the fuselage when a aircraft gets that big. If we were talking about a bird the size of a A400m maybe but this is a monster seems to be C5 scale at least.

also at the Show was claimed to be a Russian Indigenous LHD design and a new Carrier model.
of course they have cried new carrier so many times it makes the boy who cried wolf incredulous. but hay what the heck
here we see the deck view note the sharp bow
no elevators on this side
nor this side so I guess central mounted.
and guess whats back. Yup the CV model

note the fixed wing AEW birds across form the helicopter. that would demand a totally new aircraft
.
two islands like the QE class and navalized pakfa... fantasy any one?

Yes it will fly.. Anything will fly if the wings are big enough for lift.
This cgi rendition however will never ever become reality for one simple reason.
Maintenance! Ther is a reason why turbofans or turboprops are mounted the way they are. Easy to get to, easy to maintain.
Imagined the poor ground crew having to work on these engines! Heck even minor repairs would take forever just because of the location and how it blends into the fuselage.
