This is a pair of lithograph prints of the F-111 by the artist Robert McCall. In early 1964, prior to the introduction, General Dynamics commissioned Robert McCall to paint two pictures of the F-111 in the Navy and Air Force colors. This pair was presented by the GD President Frank Davis to...

Hi everyone. I couldn't find anywhere outlines, sideviews of Nasa+Darpa+USAF's X-37 (with dimensions). Only 3D artistic renderics and "old" 2003-2004 pictures. Could anybody help? AG

A pair of unbuilt Avro Canada projects from Canadian Aircraft Since 1909 by K.M. Molson (ISBN: 0370300955). First, a 1955 design for a four-engined bizjet with CF-100 overtones. [Edit: presumably the "Small High-Speed Jet Transport" mentioned in Jim Floyd's summary of Avro Canada feasibilty...

Aside from this single artistic rendering I have not seen any other documentation of this X-15 design concept. Was this merely a single artistic exercise or were there actually design studies, drawings, plans etc... to back it up?

According to Paul Czysz, he claimed that McDonnell Aerospace had an aerospace plane that probably first flew in 1963 and entered service in 1964 flying until at least 1979. I was told the plane had a smaller payload than the Space-Shuttle. It to the best of my knowledge was a single-stage to...

I know this one has a lot of questions. If anybody has a good answer, I'd like to hear it. Would the F-12B interceptor have resulted in a significantly different development of Russian/Soviet aircraft? Would it have played a role in the development of our fighter designs? Would it have...
