That's an awful close range to deploy an Eagle.
Very poignant image, though.

Interesting, I've not heard of the N-176 before. An internal concept or black project at NG never making it past the design stage? Can’t find much else on it though. Anyone know if this was tied to the ATF program or was it a one-off study?
