fighter bomber

The twin-boom Caproni Ca.150 was an attack-fighter ordered in 1936 but subsequently cancelled. The current Caproni auction at Mallams has enabled the emergence of some really interesting material, such as these Ca.150 documents which show two different design iterations (Ca.150 and Ca.150/2)...

I was thinking what if there was a stealth fighter bomber to replace the fb-111.

Messerschmitt Me 262 Development & Politics by Dan Sharp There are many myths surrounding the development of the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter. Its unparalleled performance is beyond doubt; easily able to outpace its opponents and possessing the firepower to shred them in seconds. Yet...

One of the things that always puzzled me in the 70s was how the West German Air Force replaced its NATO light fighter bomber competition winning Fiat G91 with the Dornier Dassault Breguet Alpha Jet. The Germans had the money to buy a raft of different planes for this role ranging from Jaguars...

I found some Swedish wartime projects that seem to be inspired in the Spitfire, the Mustang and the Messerschmitt Bf 110

Can't find much on the site about the FB-22, so I thought I would post these from a couple of years ago. The design has evolved a bit more since then.

I was wondering if anyone has any more information on the version of the Tomcat II shown in the image below? It's obviously stealthier than the standard version and has inlets similar to the F-22, but I was wondering if anyone here has all three views or any renderings or pictures of models of...

Hesham, please try to limit yourself to one program per thread ;) The Gnat replacement trainer requirement was AST 362. HS1173, P45 and Fo-147 are well documented in Project Cancelled and British Secret Projects: Jet Bombers. I don't have anything about Hunting H-155. AST 362 was filled by the...
