    Design a Close Air Support aircraft

    Not sure where to post this one, but it was prompted by the heated discussion on whether to keep/ditch or replace the A10 in the USAF. Apart from the A10 the other main CAS purpose built aircraft in service is the Su25 Frogfoot. The UK and France use fighter/bombers in this role. The RAF set up...

    General Dynamics Fort Worth F-16 derived GAU-8 gunship concept (G.F.G) from 1976
