It has bits of XB-70 about it, the underfuselage engine pod, and the canards as well as the overall shape of the thing.

Not quite sure why it would need triple nosewheels though.

Maybe the weight of the  1960's  era goblin teasmaid in the crew lounge  made it essential

Operationally?  Or experimentally like the NB-36H by Convair?  Which, incidentally, gave rise the the charmingly named Project Halitosis.

Carry over from the Vickers Type C bomber perhaps, a couple of the concepts had a 4-wheel truck for the nose gear.  You can see where Gerry Anderson got all his weird ideas from though ---

Operationally, I  class it as a very bad idea  as it could cause as much of a problem as a power station  melt down
