flateric said:AFAIK FANG also had the same internal designation - ND-102 -- as later Northrop-Dornier project did. Northrop's official 3-view was in Steve Pace's 'X-Fighters' book.
BTW, this Northrop corporate history is just for insiders, ugh?
elmayerle said:Northrop used to publish a corporate history that had a good three-view and write-up on FANG. When I manage to retrieve my copy from where ever it's packed, I'll scan the three-view if no one else has by then.

N-126 Lenght: 25,90 m, TO Weight: 34,350 Kg
N-144 Lenght: 35,55 m, TO Weight: 51,642 Kg
N-149 Lenght: 21,46 m, TO Weight: 25,277 Kg
N-167 Lenght: 27,00 m, TO Weight: 43,488 Kg
N-176 Lenght: 25,70 m, TO Weight: 23,420 Kg
I love the N-167 with its 4 J-79 engines....brute power
I've heard eight engines and four engines but the drawings only have two. So what's the scoop?
