OK and thank you.aim9xray said:Hesham - judging from the "Willis" [Hawkins] and "Kelly" [Johnson] inscription, I'd say that this is a "CL-1400" or "L-1400" alternate point design for A-X from Lockheed. I should also point out that I don't have the original item, just the .jpg.

Boeing (Seattle) management discontinued the West Coast A-X effort using [turbo]fans on 16 July, and expressed confidence in Vertol's A-X configuration.
McAir put in effort on the 1967 concept formulation study contract but not for the 1970 AX RFP (probably too busy on FX).Mark Nankivil said:McAir never really put in much effort on the proposal so seeing this memo is interesting.

As a huge fan of the AX/A-10 and it's role, this is the first time I've heard of Hans-Ulrich Rudel participation in the AX program.

Are we sure these two sketches are legit? In both the ejection seat triangles are drawn upside down.Good Day All -
Found these two sketches in the Robert Kemp Collection on the SDASM Flickr which seem to be AX designs.
Enjoy the Day! Mark
