Good Day All - From last week's visit to Gerry Balzer to pick up the remainder of his personal library and collection, we came across a sealed box of small rolled drawings out in the garage. Covered in dust and grime, sure glad it was sealed. This drawing was in the box and is a new design to...

I'm looking for a copy of the final version of the XP-67's Specification S-23A, from July 1942. There are lots of copies of the Preliminary version dated May 1941 but I really need the final, and I've had zero luck finding it anywhere. Anyone have a copy they could share?

Something different for me to post an Air to Air Missile concept. This is the McDonnell Model 66 Air to Air Missile. The specification describes an "air-launched, rocket-propelled, command-controlled guided missile for attack on enemy aircraft in flight. This missile is designated the M.A.C...

Good Day All - Found this general arrangement of McDonnell Aircraft's Model 18-H Tandem Engine Fighter in a collection I am scanning.

I am often amazed at what this group comes up with on otherwise unheard of projects. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has any information (drawings, additional details, McDonnell reports, etc) on any of the following proposed F-4 variants: Models 98AJ and 98AL: These models were to have...

The F4 Phantom might have failed to materialise as the wonderful plane which the RAF and RN used to fill various gaps from the 60s onwards. In a Phantomless world would P1154 have been developed as planned in 1963 for both RAF and RN or would the Lightning have been developed in its swing wing...

In 1959, the U.S. Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) suggested the development of a medium-range heavy assault weapon. The Office, Chief of Research and Development indicated that no firm requirement existed for the weapon. In February, McDonnell Douglas Corporation began work on the BRAT...

...On the Big Gemini threads, on the family tree for the Gemini program and its proposed offshoots, the "Lucy" of the tree is a drawing of what spawned into Gemini, the "Mercury Mark II". Anyone got any diagrams or sketches of what got this particular ball rolling? How much of a simple...

From numerous sources, it would seem the F-4 Phantom had a somewhat heavily-loaded wing (medium, medium-heavy). I'm not saying I dispute this as the F-4's performance obviously reflects it, but I am wondering how an aircraft with such large wings, which appear to be substantially cambered...

Greetings: Who would like to tell me how many swing-wing vertions of F-4 PhantomII has existed? Would you please take trouble to show me those drawing? Thanks in advance

Pometablava... Joe Baugher's website has a whole paragraph on the subject. From the website http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/f4_1.html The design of what was eventually to emerge as the McDonnell F-4 Phantom began in August of 1953. The McDonnell design team was headed by Herman Barkley...

Hi everybody, During the 1987/1988 McDonnell-Douglas tried to make a deal with Airbus to develope MD-330 airliner,which was based on a stretch MD-11 airframe with Airbus A300 wing to compete Boeing-747,but the McDonnell later developed the design MD-12,anther series of little known airliner...
