Greetings All -

A few scans of photos found in the archives but not sure which model it is. Any suggestions?

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Could it be

V-521 (29-12-1971) VTOL fighter/attack aircraft with three engines - one lift/cruise plus 2 lift units [Tony Buttler - American Secret Projects: Jet Fighters]

Described as a canard delta with lift/lift-cruise engines in the Vought Docavia, seems pretty likely.
 
Greetings All!

Some drawings to go along with the photos, thanks of course to the Vought Archives.

Enjoy the Day! Mark
