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:

After the cancellation of Voyager(Mars) in 1967 NASA started up a new series of studies to come up with a spacecraft for the 1973 launch opportunity.
This Martin-Marietta designed soft-lander of 1969 was intended to put the maximum payload weight on the surface of Mars using a mission profile...

With the recent Skysentry thread, we've seen a couple of variants of the DC-6 & DC-7 (I believe) variants, as well as the B-52 competition's Douglas dark horses jet powered bomber versions of the DC-6. I know there was the DC-4M Merlin powered & the Carvair ferry versions of the DC-4, firebomber...

A joint US-German VSTOL fighter project. Here we have a 3 view of an early configuration and an isometric cutaway of a later version with modified air intakes.
The F-18 flaps and flaperons... I know the flaps and elevons both droop equally at least at high settings and they seem to have a slot. What I am curious about is what you call the part of the flap in front of the slot (it pivots/droops somewhat with the flap), does anybody know what you call...
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...
