The Heinkel He 111Z Zwilling (twin) was created by joining two He 111 fuselages with a new wing centre section and adding a fifth central engine.

For historical interest, pusher aircraft are also classified by date. Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines. The list ...
