Hi, Looking for information on the LTV V-517 V/STOL fighter proposed for the Sea Control Ship.

Found this in an old AIAA compilation of papers "Evolution of aircraft wing design". The particular paper was by Bob Liebeck (Father of the BWB), and the title was "Design of airfoils for high-lift" (AIAA 80-3034) therein is briefly described a study called SCAT (Surveillance, Communications...

The Garrett Systems STAMP. Does anybody have any information about it?

Does anybody happen to know what became of the Bell "Eagle Eye" tilt rotor UAV? The USCG has put the program on hold...any other customers (I´ve heard that the USMC was interested in this design at some time). Or has the whole project been cancelled? Anybody who´s got the empty and gross weight...

Hi, Tucked away in Boeing's rotorcraft presentation at Paris was a small image of something called FASTR - Folding Advanced Stopped Tilt Rotor - a study by Bell Boeing for DARPA and the US Navy...

This thread on some "1991 Sikorsky high-speed rotorcraft studies" has a one which caught my eye, a VTOL battlefield fighter with the cryptic name of "Shrouded Rotor SCAT Configuration" (4th image down in the first post). http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1075.0.html It is...

Hi, I displayed this aircraft before,but I can't identify it,who can ?. Low speed aerodynamic characteristics of a vectored thrust V/STOL transport with two lift/cruise fans Renselaer, D. J NASA-CR-152029 https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19770022151 [Admin - updated link and added report details]

Hi, Grumman Model 623.

Great news friends : Snecma Send me new information and photos on Snecma VTOL programs (Coléoptère and APxxx projects) :o :) :o. Rendez-vous sson in Le Fana de l'Aviation ;) Amitiés

Than the "Weser-Flugzeugbau GmbH" was active also after wwii ! :o :o

Some months ago I copied a couple of pages from, I think, a large NASA report and I have no notes to say whose these designs are. So here are pages 1332 and 1334 :)

Does anyone have any information on the design for the enlarged S-3 Viking offered as a carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft in competition with the second batch of Grumman Greyhounds? And I don’t mean the US-3 which was just a stripped ASW Viking for high speed COD duties. Apparently this...

From Journal Of The Royal Aeornautical Society August 1965. Not sure if this is a proper project or not as it says no more than the title in an article about VTOL. Regards, Barry

Hi, the Aviation Week magazine published this Boeing VTOL transport aircraft project and the Flightglobal magazine displayed it. http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1973/1973%20-%202151.html

Displacing 13,200 tons, space for 16 aircraft. 15deg ski jump. For peacetime operations a helicopter operates from the rear deck, in wartime the rear deck would be built up with containers to lengthen the flight deck. Length 604 ft. Source: Flight International, 12 Jan 1980.
