    P1154 scenario

    This is posted in the alternative history and future speculation section. So it is not history, but it is close to history. What if.....what if the P1154 is proceeded with? How does that happen? And what are its effects? ............. It could happen partly by not merging RN and RAF...

    Royal Air Force strike aircraft squadrons in the late 60s: plans versus reality

    What is your favourite 70s 80s Harrier replacement/alternative?

    One of the joys of this site is the quantity of info available on unbuilt aircraft projects. Particularly tantalising are the various projects in the 70s and 80s for a supersonic VSTOL to replace the Harrier. The Bae 1216 has been the best covered thanks to Michael Pryce. Various US designs...

    F 4 Phantom fails in the early 60s- 1154s or Lightnings?

    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...

    Random thought.... Have there been any designs for jet VTOL tailsitters, on paper or actually built, with the engine reversed in the airframe and the efflux turned 180 degrees or so to exit from the nose? It's not hard to imagine such a design with a pair of Harrier-style rotating louvers for...
