I think that's just a test set-up, the fuselage and tail look like the Avro Canada Jetliner . . .

Exactly, NASA modified that surplus C102 model a number of times. Why waste an already-built model's fuselage and tail when only the new wings need to be represented accurately in the wind tunnel tests?

It's very similar to Vertol project in the book, ASP:3 ?.

Don't forget that the technology here is the fan-in-wing "Vertifan", patented by Ryan Aeronautical, so it could be an early Ryan design (perhaps only notional, not an actual project) or a NASA drawing inspired by Ryan's "Vertifan" technology.

Image 34, the short haul VTOL passenger jet - would be interested in seeing a cabin noise report/study when those clusters of lift jets were operating.
On the up side, cockpit security is perfectly inviolable.

Main engines are interesting, sort of like having a mini-Harrier under each wing.

I don't know if they were just a hypothetical designs,or may related to
a real concepts ?
