Late in the Seventies, Fairchild-Republic studied a Next Generation Close Air Support aircraft. It would have been a two-seater, have a night-adverse weather capability, made with large use of composites and probably (judging from the design) sport a moderate supersonic speed. Weapons: GAU-8A, bombs and Mavericks. This is all the info I have. As for the images, the grayscale one comes from "The Thunder Factory" (source of the infos). The other one is from a now-defunct Italian monthly (Interconair Aviazione & Marina): beautiful side-view (but side-view only, sigh...) Anyone out there with more infos/images?
