Ryan-esque looking designs
 
Re: Unknown USA VTOL Surveillance & Recce Aircraft Project of 1960s

Yes,very similar to Ryan design.

Looks like the Soviet textbook simply stole these and painted over the US insignia.

They didn't do that. They simply took some US pics "as is". The circle areas you think are patches covering up the US markings are actually the lift-fans!
These are drawings we've had on this forum, perhaps even several times. And I remember a discussion as to whether the bottom one was Ryan or NAA. To me it is definitely a Ryan/G.E. thing.

Those lift fans are not in the areas where the markings had been covered up.

No. General Electric was not a proponent of airframes. They associated with Ryan on every Vertifan project, and this is one of them.

Read the article!! It says they "developed a system" for a "lift-fan". They did not originate the aircraft design!!!
 
In my dear scott's site,

here is a Ryan VTOL Jetliner Project.

In that case you maybe should have cut the image in two, or explained what the other design is, because it's ambiguous.
The Ryan project is on the left (the other one is Bell). As clearly shown, it's not so much a Ryan design as the projected application of their Vertifan technology to the Fokker F28.
They studied the exact same modifications on other aircraft such as the Gulfstream and the Learjet.

According to XV-5 vertifan drive gas supply system drawing, each main jet engine seems to supply all three vertifans to prepare for one engine trouble. Also XV-5 has a vertical direction reaction trim control system at the tail of the aircraft.

Trust amplification is about 2.5!!
NATO excellent large report.

Recently posted by the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) at their YouTube site, footage of the 5 October 1966 crash landing of the XV-5A (62-4506) which resulted in the tragic death of Bob Tittle. Footage from several different angles is provided, including (beginning at the 7 min 35 sec mark) an on-board camera on the underside of the aircraft which shows what appears be the rescue sling which was ingested into the aircraft's port-side wing liftfan inlet (shown at the 3 min 57 sec mark and 6 min 13 sec mark) resulting the crash. Sadly, Tittle suffered his fatal injuries from his seat ejecting sideways and tumbling due to the torque placed on the aircraft as it touched down.

Maybe a (C)SAR variant for the US Navy. Please notice the black oval as a window left under the cockpit.
The (C)SAR variant is described in post #85 ff.

After my dear Lark recognized it as General Electric/Ryan design,maybe there was a competition for VTOL
surveillance and recce aircraft during 1960s,and maybe Grumman G-260-4C involved in it ?.

It was under the heading "Flight Propulsion News"in Aviation Week, July the 3rd, 1961, so with a high probability
it's not an aircraft project, but just a proposed application for a the lift engines developed by General Electric, as
the text implies.
And ... it's definitely not a liftfan design !
