Hi there, I've been wondering for a while about these 2 pictures I found of what appears to possibly be an ex Eastern DC-9-31 (Notice the larger galley door) being converted into an MD-95 prototype. What happened to it? Are these just touched up images? A model/mockup? (Found these pictures...

Confess that this one has me stumped. What is under the port wing? My guess is that it is some kind of a drone, but it is far smaller than the only two-engine drone I can think of (CT41) other than modified Bomarc. The rest of the load-out is pretty eccentric as well - Harpoon, Maverick and is...

Hello, Here are some renderings of a model I was commissioned to create of McDonnell Douglas's never built A-12A Avenger II. While certain details may be of questionable accuracy such as the position of the forward formation lights on the underside, I spent a lot of time studying what few...

I have come across these pictures of McDonnell Douglas F-101B Voodoo Serial Number 57-0272 with a strange under nose sensor and carrying a MiM-23 Hawk missile. It is late 60's or early 70's from my guess. Does anyone have any more information on this project, its name and what was being tried?

To counteract some bad/incomplete information on the F-15N "Sea Eagle" on the internet, here's a really good account from Dennis R. Jenkin's fine Aerofax on the F-15.

Anybody got any details on this?

A joint US-German VSTOL fighter project. Here we have a 3 view of an early configuration and an isometric cutaway of a later version with modified air intakes.

The F-18 flaps and flaperons... I know the flaps and elevons both droop equally at least at high settings and they seem to have a slot. What I am curious about is what you call the part of the flap in front of the slot (it pivots/droops somewhat with the flap), does anybody know what you call...

I discover today the "idea" for a single seat Phantom projected inside the IFX fighter contest. Is there around a sketch for this project?

Thread to discuss McDonnell Douglas pre-ATF and ATF studies If you have something to share, please post it here.

Back in the day when they were coming up with the configuration for the next generation Hornet which ultimately lead to the Super Hornet there was a study done which had several different basic configurations in mind. Some of these drawings made it into AvWeek. One of the designs had the...
