It's just a straight rocket innit.. In fact it actually looks a lot like a P38 with the rocket in position
2 nacelles
and a pod in the middle
So given the size of that thing.
Any turbulence that hits the left wing, will put load on the left nacelle..
But the right wing and nacelle might be doing something else.
To me it just seems logical to connect the nacelles in the back, to avoid to much twisting forces in the main front wing.
