Northrop N371 - Canard A.F.T. Fighter

[BillRo]

I found another configuration drawing titled Canard A.F.T. Fighter from Aug 1985 and the Northrop Configuration designation is N371-6. I have sent a scan to Paul and I am hoping he will be able to post it.

Northrop N371 scan, resized a lot smaller (!) at 8000 pixels wide.

Thanks Bill & Paul - rather attractive design, especially with the upswept forward section.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Thanks for posting and resizing the drawing. It's still large enough to capture all the detail.

Very Nice! Do you mean ATF rather than AFT?.. -SP

Nope, it says A.F.T. on the drawing.

You're absolutely correct - I missed that. -SP

Very informative.


I'd be happy to see any such drawings of other aircraft with detailed data as well.

This design looks to be of a reasonable size and weight! Also looks to have 2D exhaust nozzles, which denotes Northrop's appreciation of manoeuvrability!! I wonder if this design was before or after the ND-102 design?
Look forward to an enlargement

Um... 8000 pixels wide not big enough?

I think the issue is you click on the image in the forum it doesn't enlarge much at all unlike typical images, one has to separately download it to view it at full size. At least for me.

Opera 12.01 and Firefox 14.01 on Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I click on it, image expands. Click on it again, it expands some more. Works fine for me.

Yes - it scales it down to fit your screen. Bottom right of the image there should be an icon to click to view it full screen - you'll have to pan around the image then. Or download it and view in an image viewer.

I've found that on Internet Explorer an image will scale up to fill the screen; no further. On Firefox, it fills the screen and presents the "enlarge" option.

YMMV.

Looks to have been very similar in size and basic configuration to a Dassault Rafale.

 

[BillRo]

That design came after the ND-102.

Ah yes I've got it now!!
Thanks Arien

Actually the drawing says N371-9.
