    Pre-ATF fighter study with stores mounted on top of the fuselage? Can't find it.

    I need a little help finding the thread for this vehicle study, circa pre-ATF era, maybe Northrop. It had these weapons mounted conformally on top of the fuselage. I remember seeing some artist's renderings. I'm using the search function but i just don't have good keywords to find it. Do you...

    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...

    FIGAT (FIberGlass Aerial Target) USAF and USN tow targets

    I recently happened on a photo of a U.S. Navy tow target which I hadn't previously seen. Linked from the VC-2 squadron page of the A-4 Skyhawk Association website, it was accompanied by no explanatory text, only a short caption saying "1974: Ed Jennings tells us about the "FIGAT". As I was...

    Common Vertical Lift Support Platform & (USAF) follow on

    Thought we had a topic for the CVLSP but I can't find it for love or money, so I'll create this new one for the moment.

    Secret Flight Test History - An Alternate History of the X-24C

    This is just a little thought exercise in a 'what-if' scenario for a hypersonic flight research program. The US efforts to develop a hypersonic aircraft design in the 1950's (Aerospaceplace, X-15), 1960's (X-20, Lifting Bodies), and 1970's (X-24C, HYFAC) culminated, for a time, in the USAF and...
