    Would the F-111B have really been superior to the F-14?

    Hello everyone this is my first post on here :) I was recommended this video by the "glorious" YouTube algorithm while watching some of Ward Carroll's videos. The person who did said video mentioned some things about the F-111B...how much better would it have been than the F-14 as an...

    General Dynamics FB-111XL, aka FB-111 with F-16XL wings.

    So, this plane is almost exactly 80ft long, has a wing area of approximately 1500 sq ft, MTOW of 140-145k lbs, EW of ~55k lbs, and is powered by two GE F110s. I decided to utilize the shorter length of the 110s and curved intake ducts to double the length of the weapons bay. I’m sure it would be...

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

    Thanks to Air21 over at What If Modelers: Thought this design was already mentioned in an existing SPF thread, but I couldn't locate it. I'm wondering if this design originally grew out of one of the 'Model 402' studies. Also, I wonder if there was a late 1970s semi-official USAF requirement...

    RAF camouflage that never was

    A much reproduced painting of the RAF F111K from General Dynamics (it heads up the Wikipedia entry) shows the plane in a non-standard green and brown camouflage pattern. I had always put this down to artistic licence but then I found a similar colour scheme on the cover of the 1970 RAF Souvenir...
