This should probably go into theoretical and speculative projects (or better yet - the artwork forum).


Hesham, this aircraft probably couldn't fly and it has the name of a newspaper written at a diagonal across it. So, it almost certainly isn't really a 'project'.

Martin's WS-110 (B-70)? -SP
 
Given the fact it's from the Baltimore Sun, to me there is little doubt that we have a Martin project here, indeed.

And, yes, my hunch here is also WS-110, but we'd need to find the article to be sure.
 
We have one Martin WS-110 design here, and it's not a whole lot like this one.

what i find odd it's nose section of this aircraft


it's flat, rectangular wedge-shaped
is there any US aircraft designer how use that feature ?
 
It could have been another Convair idea for a bomber. One of Convair's SST designs from that time that I've seen posted on here had a similarly shaped nose.

Sure, but it's not like every company did only one design study for each military tender... Often they came up with several proposals.

Also don't forget there was the initial WS-110 program and the later, revised WS-110A, which led to the XB-70.

Rockwell Surprise Fighter comes to mind.
