I saw recently that the USAF is purchasing Super Tucano light attack aircraft. The designation is the A-29. Is this part of the official Air Force Designation? The last A aircraft I see is the A-24, according to the NMUSAF. What is the A-25 - A-28?

The Vought Archive at the University of Texas in Dallas contains quite a strange series of entries:
This clearly indicates that Scaled Composites conducted a study in 1991 for the rapid prototyping of a SOFTA aircraft.
Strange is the way the XC-142 seems to be associated to the same report...
