One of the designs leading up to the TBU-1 (V-174). I found two flavors of V-169. V-169A first Vought archives

Please forgive if this has been posted before, I did a search for Vought and found mainly Postwar projects. This is the E-101 Transport aircraft. Again a variation in Vought's numbering system. From Vought Archives Enjoy!

Greetings All! Happy New Year to the group - may 2010 be filled with many new finds! Attached is a photo of the V-523 model in the Vought Archives collection. A friend of mine, Fred Harl, came along on my last trip down to Vought in August and photographed a number of the models while I was...

Hi, the Chance Vought XRM-91 was won over 12 companies,and Vought got the major contact for the NASA/Department Defense Scout four- stage solid-propellant space research vehicle of 1959. Who know the other tenders ?.

Greetings All - Another treasure from the Vought Archives is the V-516 FAC proposal. The 3 view has it in USAF markings - what program was this aimed at or was it possibly an unsolicited proposal? Son of Pinto?! Enjoy the Day! Mark

I understand that the first Vought A2U-1 (the attack version of the F7U Cutlass) was almost complete when it was cancelled on 18 November 1954. Does anybody know what happened to the airframe (and any others that there may have been). Was it just scrapped or was it use for a F7U Cutlass, and, if...

Greetings All - One of the items found while looking thru the treasure of the Vought Archives was this CAS study. Looks like an A-4 met an A-10, fell in love and.... Enjoy the Day! Mark

Hi All! I think this will be a world exclusive on Secret Projects - the first known image of the Vought V-382. According to the designation listing, this was to be an attack aircraft for the USAF. Anyone know of a 3 view or any other drawing of this aircraft? Thanks to the great gang over at...

Does anyone have any information on the design for the enlarged S-3 Viking offered as a carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft in competition with the second batch of Grumman Greyhounds? And I don’t mean the US-3 which was just a stripped ASW Viking for high speed COD duties. Apparently this...

Greetings All - I photographed this model of the Vought/VFW submission for the T-37 replacement [Vought V-538 - Added by Admin] while visiting/volunteering with the Vought Retiree's Club, keepers of the Vought historical archives. Anyone have info on other submissions? Enjoy the Day! Mark

Greetings All - Here's a few of the Vought concepts - first off the designs that competed for the F-14 and then the LWF designs when they teamed with General Dynamics and would have/could have had the F/A-18 had the Navy followed Congress's edict to choose the winning LWF design (F-16). I'm...

As a happy new owner of AMT/ERTL F-15 ASAT 'Satellite Killer' in 1/72 I will appreciate any photographic/graphic references of ASM-135 missile and its F-15 carriers. Thank you!

This seems to be published in one of the "Jane's Aviation Review". Any comments on the background of 'Vought's MiGs'?

Two magazines („The Aeroplane“ and „Flugwelt“) mention a Chance Vought XF9U as an further development of the F8U with big radar in the nose and air intakes similar to the F-105. Is it a hoax or a secret project? Who is able to help?

I was flicking through some of my old magazine extracts that I have collected over the years (a photocopy when photo copiers were as amazing as computers are today!). I came across an article about the Vought IF-8 Crusader. It was apparently a proposal of based on the Vought F-8D Crusader to the...

Following on from Overscan's post on the Corsair for CAS i recently noted in Air Pictorial from March 1970 that LTV had proposed a land based development of the F-8 Crusader called the V-1000. The aircraft was propossed for the Low Cost US Fighter project fo replace the F-5 Freedom Fighter as a...
