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.

Overscan: your satisfaction is very important to all of us! Attached is no. 53 of the (Qty. 91) Lockheed CL-1000 studies. Planform is clearly derived from other, then-operational Lockheed products. Please note this late 1960s project is unrelated to the 1942 L-1000, which was the turbojet...

My biggest question regarding the Lockheed Suntan program is why they bothered investigating hydrogen turbojets in the first place. The best advantage I can think of was the ability to achieve the desired speed and range with an airframe that was much lighter than anything else in its size...

No further data apart from whats on the drawings (better version on my blog - http://up-ship.com/blog/). These precede, at least numerically, the CL-282, which was Lockheed's first official stab at the U-2. They look to be lighter-constructed than the U-2.
I was given the following years ago by Joe Jones.
Since this forum appreciates older design concepts, I thought I would post it.

Can someone shed some light on this C-5 Galaxy/NASA project? I was given this picture via email. Looks like STOL C-5? Blown flaps?
Thank you in advance.

About 2 weeks ago, I found a thread with this name in the "Space Secret Projects" section. It contained an article from the Flight PDF archive.
Now this thread has vanished... :( Anybody got a clue why? If possible, please post it again!
many thanks

Does anyone have any information on the design for the enlarged S-3 Viking offered as a carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft in competition with the second batch of Grumman Greyhounds? And I don’t mean the US-3 which was just a stripped ASW Viking for high speed COD duties. Apparently this...
