Here's what appears to be a very odd VAX design from 1962.

I found this strange VG STOL Fighter Project,and it was appeared in Aviation Week Magazine,I made a good
search in its archive,but nothing I found,maybe it was not a generic design,so if anyone can help ?.

Maybe you are right,but who can find it in Aviation Week magazine ?.
 
At those extreme sweep angles, the outer wing panels essentially “disappear.”
You then depend upon lift developed by the sharply-swept, wing-root, leading edge ….. more like a gothic wing.
