"Naval Air Systems Command 1975" is not a source, Hesham. Amend with the actual details.

Thank you my dear PaulMM,

and what about Rockwell NA-410 ?.

Don't see a question? What about NA 410?

 

[hesham]

Could be a misprint ?.

Why?

We know of NA-420 / NA-430 / NA-431 Type A V/STOL designs.

I don't believe we have a different ID for NA-410, so why could it not be another V/STOL Type A design?

Rockwell also has under study several candidate Type "A" designs. The NA-410 design is powered by four turbine engines connected to four lift/cruise fans which are mounted in wing pods.

OK my dear PaulMM,and that's new,we missed number 410 in the list of North American/Rockwell.

I'm well aware we have dozens of posts already in the existing US VSTOL Projects topic, but I want to split that one up a bit. Therefore I'm creating this topic, with an image from NASA Glenn image archives.

Same image enhanced from better quality version at National Archives.
