Why the Pogo and Roadrunner look alike

The Pogo and Roadrunner resemblance is attributed tentatively to similar requirements producing similar solutions.

Question

Have you noticed the similarities between the XFY Pogo and Anduril Roadrunner?

Short answer

Similar needs and requirements probably explain the resemblance through convergent development.

Notes

The Anduril Roadrunner is identified as a twin-jet uncrewed aircraft. The older XFY Pogo prompts an on-air lookup because the respondent initially recognises only Roadrunner. Their resemblance is treated as convergent development arising from similar needs. The explanation remains tentative, and the Pogo's propulsion details are not settled confidently.
