AAC / Phalanx VTOL Projects

More pictures of the MP-18 model...after the Paris Air Show it was returned to me to have a mold made of of it, and a second model was made up in USMC markings, then another in Israeli paint. As you can imagine, making grp tools off of the model was a pretty sporty deal..I had a friend from my Northrop model shop days do the final molds, he went on to work at Scaled Composites as I recall.

I generated some videos of the Phalanx Dragon base on these images although it seems, I can’t attach the video on this site. I attach a copy of the article from I believe Popular Science April 1985 issue. I also created a YouTube video on the design of the Phalanx

. I’ll work on loading more Phalanx generated videos to link to YouTube where it can be accessed and viewed.

I saw this static display of the American Aircraft Corporation's Stealthstar, light attack helicopter, based on the OH-58A or OH-58C Kiowa. July 22, 1990 @ the Dayton International Airshow, Vandalia, Ohio.

I saw this static display of the American Aircraft Corporation's Stealthstar, light attack helicopter, based on the OH-58A or OH-58C Kiowa. July 22, 1990 @ the Dayton International Airshow, Vandalia, Ohio. But, the static display was equipped with the Bell OH-58C Kiowa, two bladed, semi rigid rotor system. I do not believe American Aircraft Corporation ever test flew the small Stealthstar.
