How so?The caption says: "AAF Wright Field 'Mach 0.999' Study for Transonic Airplane, April 1944". Most of the info you need is contained within that caption.The lack of intakes show that this illustrates the (April 1944) conclusion by the Design Branch of the Aircraft Laboratory at Wright Field that rocket-power provided the best solution to transonic flight. So, this form represents the end point of the transonic flight research process begun by Ezra Kotcher in the Fall of 1939.In general shape, the illustrated Wright Field design is all but indistinguishable from the NACA MCD 520 rocket aircraft proposal shown in your first post.BTW, do you have an original source for this Pinterest image?
