Model 186C


Supersonic, powered by two reheated GE-1 engines and with VTO weight 30,000lb. The efflux from the engines is ducted to eight fans mounted in the 3.25% wings. Confguration suitable for point defence duties, with max speed of Mach 2.0. However, it has too large wetted area for low level flight, an unsuitable planform for ground attack, and insufficient span for good ferry range.
