    Planned UK carrier order of battle 1975

    Going from memory here, but I'm pretty sure that the Skyhawk was not area ruled either, so getting it to go supersonic may also require a redesign of the fuselage. Which would definitely make the project more trouble than it's worth given the absolute embarrassment of riches the United States...

    An alternate F-11 Tiger

    it would be nice to have two manufacturers producing engines of nearly identical size and peformance like the UK with the Avon and Sapphire.. I have mainly been thinking about non A/B units with higher outputs to make them as cheap to operate as possible: Better SFC at max speed. Like the J-52...

    A-4 Skyhawk bring back the concept for the 21st century

    Who? Let's call it all of the Global South for who is using it. They can afford maybe 24-36 of these for their entire air force. Versus? Mostly against their neighbors, maybe having to deal with a well funded Chinese-supplied opponent (still their neighbors, but a generation newer hardware)...

    The A4D-6 was an enlarged A4D-5 (A-4E) and was Douglas' entry to the U.S. Navy's 1962 VAL (light attack aircraft) competition. As the VAL was specified by the USN to use the TF30 (non-afterburning) the fuselage was re-designed for the fatter and longer engine* - and the wings enlarged to...
