Same picture, bottom aircraft only - from Fana.

Given the possibility SST biz jets, the USAF Century series developers should look at past concepts where a single airframe could be used for fighter, tactical bomber, transport, and even cargo hauler roles .

Do we know the actual rankings for each proposal in the ATF program? I know Rockwell came dead last, Lockheed 1st and Northrop 2nd, obviously. I think I read somewhere that Vought came in second last but I'm not sure.

1. Lockheed
2. Northrop
3. General Dynamics
4. Boeing
5. McDonnell Douglas
6. Grumman?
7. Rockwell?

Vought did not submit AFAIK. and I thought Grumman came last. Rockwell at least made some attempts at RCS reduction.
