Thanks to the ever-vigilant Mark Nankivil, we have a number of McDonnell-Douglas Advanced Design sketches to identify. I think I can figure out a few, but I thought it might be fun to let everyone have a go at this game. I'll post one design per post, so we can move them to the correct topics once identified.
 
Fantastic post, thanks both to you and Mark Nankivil for sharing!

Way too many to identify in just one go, but the ones that ring a bell are:
2 - Mach 12 hypersonic concept? (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...rojects-from-the-60s-and-70s.2867/#post-31457)

13 - A-4...twin engine?
14 - VLF ancestor from figure 3-6? (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-douglas-model-265-afti-project.6933/#post-59938)

19 - Model 265 (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-douglas-model-265-afti-project.6933/)

23 - Northrop P530 (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...-p-610-yf-17-design-evolution.448/#post-21421)
24 - Possible Model 225 derivative/ADLI proposal? (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...lternatives-to-the-f-14.229/page-2#post-60190)
25 - Possible ADLI proposal?
26 - Possible ADLI proposal?
27 - ADM-20 Quail
28 - Orient Express (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-douglas-orient-express.4000/)
29 - VLF variant from pic 2? (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-douglas-model-265-afti-project.6933/#post-60158)

32 - Possible single engine VSTOL/Model 262 iteration (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-model-262-vstol-fighter.2134/#post-60186)
33 - Possible ADLI proposal?
34 - GIUK Gap Interceptor Mach 6 proposal (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/giuk-gap-hypersonic-interceptor-aircraft.6422/#post-53388)
35 - GIUK Gap Interceptor Mach 4.5 proposal (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/giuk-gap-hypersonic-interceptor-aircraft.6422/#post-54135)

For the possible ADLI proposals, I know I've seen those engine on Vought projects for the Navy...

Edit: the ones I supposed to be ADLI proposals have turboramjet engines (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...h-3-4-5-navy-fighter-not-vfx.1899/#post-21605)
