This unique design has come about by grafting two Pipistrel Taurus aircraft together with a center section which is some 5 meters (16 feet) wide and includes a center pylon housing the electric engine and batteries designed to successfully carry this aircraft to the skies

just looking like "He 111Z Zwilling" and only outboard engines are missing!
To increase thrust you need more  money! But to reduce weight you  need nothing!

Zwilling was more of a austerity measure, making a plane out of two battle damaged plane, this one Taurus is Electric, a step closer to green travel.
