Topic temporarily closed until we sort out what were pure artistic imaginings, technically sound proposals and downright humorous musings in both this and the similar topic found in the "Early Projects" section.

Courtesy of Modern Mechanix, an early 'smart bomb'

Imagine yourself strapped within a hollow chamber inside a huge air bomb, surrounded on all sides by high explosives. In front of you is an airplane type udder which steers the tail unit of the bomb. Windows in the nose enable you to see ahead. You’re loaded into the bomb, which is placed in its nest under the fuselage of a bombing plane. The bomber takes off, soars above a target—say, an ammunition dump of the enemy. Up above you, the pilot of the plane pulls a lever.

One of the recurring machines in the Gerry Anderson world of 2065 was the helijet. A rotorless helicopter based on the famous Shorts Bedstead and SC1.
Reality has favoured the helicopter.

Can anyone translate the text here ?.

From Cielo 1953 10,

I don't know what was this ?,a rocket interceptor or ... ?.

 

[Grey Havoc]

From Sikorsky and Hughes respectively (h/t Triton)

 

[hesham]

They are a real Projects,and aren't belonged to this section ?.

 

[Grey Havoc]

It was the heliports shown.

It's a naïve speculation of a radar-driven "limpet plane" able to snatch an incoming nuclear missile and ward it off its target.
