How might Sidewinder armed F-106 "Six Shooters" (F-106s equipped with bubble canopies and Vulcan cannons) have performed during the Vietnam War? The F-106 had maneuverability on par with the F-4 Phantom II, being better in some situations and worse in others. It also carried an IRST system...

This was a program, possibly inspired by the B-1C and related proposals, to procure a number of P-3C based variants equipped with the AWG-9 Radar and the Phoenix missile (likely the AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed version), for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. The program began as a TRDI program in...

The Northrop N-251 was a supersonic VTOL interceptor concept with trapezoid wings, twin forward engines and vectored lift thrust at the CG, much like the Bell X-14 and DuPont DP-1/-2. Factory model is shown here.

Random thought....
Have there been any designs for jet VTOL tailsitters, on paper or actually built, with the engine reversed in the airframe and the efflux turned 180 degrees or so to exit from the nose? It's not hard to imagine such a design with a pair of Harrier-style rotating louvers for...

Before they were canceled Lockheed recieved an order for 93 production F-12B LRIs to serve in the USAF Air Defense Command. I believe this photo from LM illustrates what a production F-12B would have looked like.

Iranian Arrows scared...
