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

Don't see a question? What about NA 410?Thank you my dear PaulMM,
and what about Rockwell NA-410 ?.
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.
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?
Same image enhanced from better quality version at National Archives.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.
Ah yes, my first 'paper airplane' assignment, only months out of college. I speak of Design 698-309 dated June 1976, our initial Type A configuration, as drawn by Tony Bacci and directed by Bob Kress. I had the very good fortune to have Dr. Wolfgang Gunther Buchmann as my lead engineer and mentor.Alas, the only substantive part of the program is rotting in the back of Moffett Field, CA.
