Can't go through all the projects you mentioned, which span many years and would be off-topic here.
You should use the search engine on the forum, since several of those you listed are well-documented.
However, I'm willing to feature the N-5 "Canard" and N-6 "Windmill" projects, which are more or less contemporary with the N-4 and not often covered. The latter was studied in both high-wing and mid-wing configurations, and even with the propeller in mid-fuselage position.

I don't get it. This was supposed to be a topic on the Northrop N-4.
The earlier Northrop 3-A/FT-1 and the related Vought V-141/-143/-150 make some sense here, but what are the Alpha, Beta and Gamma doing here?

I feel the same

@Justo: about "Structutal ancestors" I could still "aceptar pulpo como animal de compañía" but "Die Deutsche Sportflieger" September 1942 is clearly Off-topic ;)


The solution I propose is cleaning this thread and merging with the Northrop N3A. A new tittle could describe the lineage from Northrop civil ancestors to the final evolution at Vought

I actually own both a legal PDF version (from Speciality Press) and the original book. I highly recommend obtaining a legit copy. Tony Chong did an excellent job on it.
