From Air Force 1957,

I can't ID these two projects ?.

The first one resembles the D-181:

The second one could be an early variation of the D-188 program, which used deflected stream (contrary to the D-188B which used tilt-rotors instead). I have an undefined Bell VTOL project with the same fuselage configuration but deflection in wingtip pods (the one in your image probably used deflection under the fuselage).

Thanks,and may that's right,or it was earlier project ?.
 
If I recall correctly the original requirement that led to the CH-47 was an ability to move the Honest John missile around the battlefield.
