I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design? Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing...

[Moderator note - added in some older posts of earlier STOVL designs from Northrop, McDonnell-Douglas from the "US VTOL Projects" topic. I think these are interesting to consider in the light of the combined JAST design] I want to add the Northrop-Grumman ALF. Pictures from Air&Cosmos Nº1482...
