Lockheed VSTOL- unknown model

Matej · 8 January 2010

"Lockheed-California Company is the source of this artists impression (Aircraft E) of a "cross-duct propulsion system" V/STOL for the USN. A rival to the Grumman and LTV projects, it would have two turbofan engines with thrust vectoring."

Source is the page 92 of some unknown publication that I have only a few lists from. Relatively small format - some 20 x 10 cm.

IIRC, this picture is in Bill Gunston's "Future fighters" from Salamander Books as well

Nope, a later Type A VSTOL design.

I think its CL-1677.

Added to existing Lockheed Type A VSTOL topic.

There were dozens of these from mid 1970s onwards.

I have found one of the Lockheed designs, others may be hiding as well. Unfortunately none is clearly tagged in the archives.

If you take the trouble to scan the whole series, you will find some interesting 70's models

The link points to a USN high performance fighter (Vought?), not related with the subject of the thread

First sketches included a canard, but after wind tunnel tests they concluded that engine nacelles provide enough lift to keep the nose up. This airplane was intended as a replacement for carrier-capable S-3 Viking ASW.

I assume its roles would have been ASW and COD (or VOD) had it entered service.
