Lockheed tendered to the competition for a supersonic trainer a series of designs derived from the F-104 in little or more-than little radical ways. First is the above mentioned and already posted here CL-314 http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1965.msg53387.html#msg53387.From early 1957 are the next two designs. CL-342 was a miimum supersonic trainer with a Mach 1.5 maximum speed, powered by two J-85s. The contemporray CL-343 had a speed reduced to Mach 1.0 due the lone Westinghouse J-54 powering it.The fuselage of the F-104 was more deeply modified. There were two iterations of this design, but the two differed in minor details.From mid-1957 is finally the CL-360, defined an "optimum two-place supersonic trainer". The engine is unspecified but described as having the power of two J-85s.
