We uploaded some interesting drawings in our new aviation archeology gallery. We plan on uploading more through the holidays--and beyond. Check it out.

Interesting drawings and nice size.


Thanks for doing this and alerting us!

Very nice - looking forward to more!

Thanks for the heads up! Mark
 
The B-58 AMSA engine testbed caught my eye. So did the'71 light fighter concept that looks like an F-106 gone Lavi.
 
This is out standing! Hopefully there is more info on Kelly Johnson's designs for the FX that we always see the isometric of, but rarely good three views (twin engine, single tail with the strakes over the inlets, I can't recall the CL-XXXX number ATM).
 
We'll be adding to the collection over the holidays to keep the site warm. Posted a few more this morning. Stretch F-111 variant going up tomorrow.

Many thanks for that treasures unveiled from the archives keeping Aerospace History alive
 
posted a couple more tonight, including a collection of F-111 STOL derivatives.

Lift-jets on swivelling pylons? ;D

The stretched F-111 and the subsonic AMSA are fascinating what-ifs, given that the USAF spent huge $ on building a B-1 that could go M=2+ and ended up with an essentially subsonic B-1B. And had SAC gotten over its hatred of the F-111, the stretch or the FB-111H could have made a far cheaper interim aircraft and a not-half-bad complement to the B-2.

And then if someone had figured out that the ATB did not have to be a B-52 replacement and designed it with half the bomb load...
 
Pruned thread of derailed posts. LowObservable is right, this is interesting stuff worth discussing, without reference to the F-35 please.
 
Finally posting more from the Lockheed side of the legacy fence. CL-445-1 today. More coming!


Forgot to repeat the link:

I still suposse my list of what to do is closed but I like similar crasy design and I call procedure AddToList(CL-445)
 
I was looking at the GD concept labeled "Study RPV configuration 10"
http://www.codeonemagazine.com/images/media/AA_19701009_RPV_Config_10_1267828237_6693.jpg

It looks like it has a rather dinky nose gear and what looks like skids on the main units, which is fine for landing but not so good for taking off. Furthermore, the drawing clearly shows that, with the ordnance hanging under the fuselage, the main units would be too short to touch the ground, much less provide clearance for rotation. This leads me to believe that the nosegear and skids would be used exclusively for landing after the LGB was dropped. This leaves the question of how this thing was launched. It could be catapulted, or, and this would be intriguing, air-launched. In the latter mode it would provide some sort of stand-off capability for the carrier airplane, which could be something like, say, a DC-130.

CodeOne, do you know anything else about this configuration? A big thanks for making these available!

Any info on the Curtiss Wright SE-109 dual-cycle engine for the CL-445?

Given Curtis Wright's work on the J-67, using a Bristol Olympus, would it be related to that and if so would Lockheed have based their CL-445 on Robin Jamison and John Lane's similarly configured aircraft using Bristol combination engines?

Update, don't know if this information and these pictures have been posted before.
CL-507 was a Lockheed preliminary design effort in 1960 that involved a series of STOVL and VTOL fighter bombers with maximum speeds in the Mach 2 range. This variation (507-27) had variable-sweep wings.

Lockheed studied vertical and short takeoff and landing transports for the US Marine Corps in the early 1960s. CL-484-5-4 design, shown here, had two turbofan engines for cruising and eight engines for vertical lift.

The Space Logistics, Maintenance and Repair, or SLOMAR study, was initiated by the USAF in 1959. The basic objectives of the SLOMAR study were to estimate future military space needs in terms of support for manned space stations and produce preliminary designs of vehicles to fulfill that mission. This concept was labeled CL-498. Click on the image above to see it in its entirety.

Some examples:
Today is Lockheed preliminary design day. First up is CL-507-4. The CL-507 series was an extensive effort in 1960 related to short takeoff and landing and vertical takeoff and landing fighter bombers.
