I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design?
Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing...
I’m looking for the Grumman design number of this ”Albatross“ turboprop conversion. I only know it’s NOT the G-305 (another proposed four-engined turboprop flying-boat for ASW duties from 1961). Any idea of the G-xxx number?

Hoping to stir upr some discussions (and undigging of half-forgotten infos) I post the Grumman projects list found in the Francillon's book (Putnam-Naval Insitute) on Grumman Corporation. As it's very well explained in the opening remarks, it is complete till G-128 and after veeeeery sketchy (to...

Hi Everyone!
Presented here are illustrations of a WW2 Grumman design for a two-engine torpedo plane/attack bomber for the USN. A mock-up was built of this aircraft, but it proceeded no further
It was the Grumman XTB2F-1 and had the Grumman company's designation of Design 55.
It was to be...
Designed as a missile armed all weather interceptor to complement the F8U-1. Two prototypes were ordered in 1955 but cancelled in favour of the McDonnell XF4H-1.
Used 2 x 18,000lb J79-GE-207 turbojets, APQ-50 radar. Armament was 3 Sparrow or two Sparrows and 3 Sidewinders flush mounted under...
[Moderator note - added in some older posts of earlier STOVL designs from Northrop, McDonnell-Douglas from the "US VTOL Projects" topic. I think these are interesting to consider in the light of the combined JAST design]
I want to add the Northrop-Grumman ALF. Pictures from Air&Cosmos Nº1482...
