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?

Hi everyone,
IRL the US and UK jointly embarked on a complete Harrier redesign as the AV-8B as the US had no V/STOL alternative at the moment. But had the US chosen to finish development of the Convair Model 200 instead of the XVF-12A, and had this worked well enough to enter service, there...

Just wondering if anyone could direct me or afford me some information on India's interest in the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk? I wasn't even aware that India had shown interest in the Skyhawk - was it for the Indian Navy or Air Force employment?

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.
Image of the Vickers proposal for a modified Invincible Class ship to replace HMAS Melbourne. The enlarged hangar and removal of Sea Dart are of note. Also Invincible image for comparison.

I am often amazed at what this group comes up with on otherwise unheard of projects. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has any information (drawings, additional details, McDonnell reports, etc) on any of the following proposed F-4 variants:

McDonnell Douglas UpSTAGE Anti-Ballistic Missile (funded by DARPA). Successful external combustion propulsion is quite visible in the last (in-flight) photo. I don't believe the Linear Aerospike engine ever achieved this.
After the cancellation of Voyager(Mars) in 1967 NASA started up a new series of studies to come up with a spacecraft for the 1973 launch opportunity.
