Could this be tied to Isinglass or Rhineberry?
How Galaxy could carry such a big load - in terms of ground clearance? In my humble opinion, C-5 almost "lays" on the ground at airstrip.C-5 Galaxy carrying.... what?
Seems to be a conventional Model 263 VFAX design similar to this:
Almost certainly the same article discussed in this thread - they're most likely GE14/16 wrap-around turboramjet used in the 'advanced interceptors'' mentioned in same thread (but in pairs in that case)Nos. 6, 24, 26, and 33 all have Vought SAMI-style nozzles, so probably aimed at a similar role. No. 31 has smaller versions of the SAMI nozzles, but I’d question of the power would be enough for the high-mach SAMI job.
Well then in No. 31 we could have at least the airframe designers positing a sub-scale version of that turboramjet.Almost certainly the same article discussed in this thread - they're most likely GE14/16 wrap-around turboramjet used in the 'advanced interceptors'' mentioned in same thread (but in pairs in that case)Nos. 6, 24, 26, and 33 all have Vought SAMI-style nozzles, so probably aimed at a similar role.

I think you’re right - the aft fuselage shaping suggests one engine on the port, logic suggests another to starboard.Could "fat" A-4 (No.3) be equipped with two turbofan engines with high bypass ratio?
Just a guess, because I couldn't imagine why A-4 need such type of engines...
Digging up this old thread, would it be possible to do this moving of the identified designs by now?Cheers for the participants so far - I will be adding more pics tonight. These ones have filename clues.
I'll then move each post to its appropriate topic.
Anular aerospikes?Odd cockpit glazing and engine nozzles suggest high speed?
The odd structure that runs from the top of the intakes, behind and parallel to the inner wing, and skirts the cockpit bulge before running all the way to the rear ‘flaps’ is intriguing.
