I have always liked the general configuration and layout of the A10. From a civilian point of view, the design criteria of a narrow tandem fuselage, a robust straight wing, and a non "T" tail would lend themselves to neat personal transport. Not something tiny like an RV8, but something substantially larger.
In college, I was fascinated with UDF's (open rotor engines) and spent many hours contemplating an A10-like civilian bird with 2 small UDF engines on the tail. It's not hard to see how 2ea "noisy" UDF's could be mounted above an A10-like tail.
