What aerodynamic implications would a fictional two-pronged fuselage have? Often I see some fictional futuristic aircraft with a two-pronged fuselage, as if they were absurdly oversized canards.

Is there any remote possibility for an aircraft to benefit from such a design?

What would the implications of it be in an actual aircraft?

  EDIT: Just to clarify things up a little, since I kind of came out of nowhere asking this weirdness.
  These forked-wing designs is notoriously an aesthetic artifact, my intention is to design a handful of fictional aircraft for a hard-sci-fi novel. I find this design very beautiful but it just screams out impracticity, since I don't like the idea of designing something that wouldn't even take off, i'm after thoughts from specialists and enthusiasts about such design, to seek for any feasible excuses to use it, if it does not gives any positive point except for looking nice, i may just scrap it and get going with more rational designs.
I don't see any benefit (besides optics, but this is debatable). Compared to a single fuselage, these disadvantages exist:


More wetted surface for the same volume, so more friction drag.
Twin fuselages will obstruct the pilot's view more than one.
The two-pronged fuselage has a higher roll inertia, so it reduces agility.
Any instrumentation will be blocked at the side of the other fuselage, so you need more complex sensors and a sensor fusion algorithm.
The wake from the fuselage will affect the wing more than that of a single fuselage. One consequence will be lower maximum lift of the wing. This is compensated by forebody lift, but this lift is created in a very inefficient way.


Also, the fin in the picture is too small to provide sufficient directional stability without artificial enhancement.
