Vought took General Dynamics design and offered the V-1600, 1601 and 1602
McDonnel Douglas took Northrops design and transformed the YF-17 to what would become the F-18 and won
However in this scenario, lets say one of Vought's design won.
At that time Sec Def, Schlesinger was heavily pushing...
Here is another model that I made as I was forever chasing an in-house. I made this larger and a bit more detailed than the Vought model shop would have produced.
Good Day All -
Some non aircraft/missile drawings from the Vought Archives of a proposed TACV - Track Air Cushion Vehicle. Apparently there as a model similar to this design shown at Transpo '72.
An article on the similar (but built) Rohr TACV is at...
A very nice supplement to the Flight Manual with good info, cockpit displays for the radar of the Vought F-8D/E here:

Good Day All -
In the Vought Archives I came across a folder with the title "V/STOL Fighter/Attack Concepts (FAVX)" with copies of overhead vuegraphs from a November 1975 presentation. The effort was a direct result of the U.S. Navy's effort in that time frame for a significant V/STOL...
Just when everyone thought V-2000 was the highest model number ever allocated by Vought, I came across this mention of a Model V-3010 Sealifter, described as an "Extreme STOL Amphibious Transport" studied by Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. in 2004.
Good to hear that Vought's latest incarnation...
Greetings All -
An interesting find for me in the Vought Archives was the Blitzfighter along with some other small/micro fighter and attack aircraft designs. I'll start off first with a couple of reports and a few drawings out of them and later will pull in some Atlas designs that I found...

With the references to turboprop options at the beginning of the program, these two Vought designs seem to fit best in the TS149 topic. Both specifically reference all weather and the radar on the designs makes me think these designs are for this.
As usual, from the Vought...
Please forgive if this has been posted before, I did a search for Vought and found
mainly Postwar projects.
This is the E-101 Transport aircraft. Again a variation in Vought's numbering system.
From Vought Archives Enjoy!
Greetings All!
Happy New Year to the group - may 2010 be filled with many new finds!
Attached is a photo of the V-523 model in the Vought Archives collection. A friend of mine, Fred Harl, came along on my last trip down to Vought in August and photographed a number of the models while I was...
