Vought VMX (V-600): 1983 Naval Attack Aircraft Study

[overscan (PaulMM)]

By far the highest V-xxx number in the main sequence I've seen, this is from 1983. Looks a whole lot like some artist's impressions of the ATA (A-12). Draws on the Vought Atlas project.

Scans by Mark Nankivil, PDF previously posted with the ATLAS stuff in SABA topic.

Speculative A-12 artwork:

That looks straight out of a Bill Gunston book from the late 80s.
