Greetings All -

Found this bit of artwork on a McDonnell Douglas design in the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum archives. No additional info with it so any leads to a Model # would be appreciated!

Enjoy the Day! Mark

That's probably one of the best-looking VTOL concepts I've ever seen! Did you ever find out what it was after all these years?

Hello,

This is in responce to the first post by pometablava on this thread .

The concept is the Kingston P.1228. I attached some pictures of the model that could not be found. I was searching the company archives (AirBoss) the other day and ran across the pictures. I know there are some far superior rendering in the archive, I just need to find them.

No need for a sad face. Your post was from 2012, I actually did search to see if this had already been posted, didn't see it. Mods can remove if they wish.
