Heinkel 162 Salamander w/two jets?

[MAX_theHitMan]

I was wondering if there were any such idea during the war years to set up two engines, side-by-side on top of an Heinkel 162 "salamander" jet-fighter? Or perhaps on the sides like the Me262 jet fighter?

You know what they say...two (jets) are better than one.

Could it be possible to add any more engines to this little fighter airplane?

~~~~Second question...

... would it be possible to have put two more engines on the me262?

just the same way they introduced two extra jet-engines on the Arado Ar234 for a faster reconnaissance/bomber jet-airplane?

I am posting two images to explain what I am talking about.

The Me262 was already far faster than allied fighters with one engine under each wing. I doubt it would be possible to add a second engine to either aircraft without redesigning the entire plane due to the increased weight, aerodynamics, additional fuel load, etc. The Arado was already a larger aircraft and could handle the structural changes without a major redesign, plus, the two planes in your photos did not need additional engine power as they already outclassed piston engined aircraft.

Cool fake photos, though!

Hello
There was the idea to put two Argus pulse jet engines on the back of the He 162, just like you faked it.

According to http://www.vectorsite.net/avhe162.html
twin Argus As-014 pulsejet engines were considered for the He 162, but the pulsejets
didn't give the aircraft enough power to take off.

The designation "He 162B" is erroneously quoted in some older books for the twin-pulsejet He 162 proposal (the book German Jet Aircraft: 1939-1945 and Volume 2 of the four-volume series Die Deutsche Luftruestung 1933-1945 by the late Heinz Nowarra cites the designation He 162A-10 for the twin-pulsejet He 162 while referring to the single-pulsejet He 162 proposal as He 162A-11), but this is refuted by official RLM documents, which make clear that no pulsejet-powered He 162 proposal was ever designated "He 162B".
