Now,we can say about this contest,maybe the tenders were;
- North American CL-4035 (T2J-1 VTOL)
- Ryan/GE Model-? ,sure was in
- Douglas D-793
- Grumman G-260 ,sure was in,it had a fan lift in center inboard section of the wing
Browsing through an old index of blueprints (probably from SDASM) I've just come across the mention of a VTO-Executive variant of the Vertifan, also under the Model 143 designation. The closest thing I've found to this description in my files is this Vertifan project, but I can't say for sure if it's just that, or another project of the same era.
