I can't find any Vought V-391 or V-394 pics in web . : (Does anyone have any models/images available for the Vought V-391 and V-394?
I send a mail to Vought Heritage Foundation , and they ask me " who is inquiring and what is the intended use?"Sum total of knowledge to date is from a Vought project list:
V-391 - Long range fighter for the USAF, 1954
V-394 - Heavy long range fighter for the USAF, 1954
According to Tony Buttler no trace of either has been found in the Vought archives. We surmise they are most likely LRI-X designs, but no official submission was made to the requirement by Vought.
Personal speculation: the designs might have been conceptual descendants of the V-371 layout. This design is largely missing from the archive.
Yes, on page 102 of American Secret Projects: Fighters & Interceptors 1945-1978And any pics of Grumman G-107 ?
Sir , May you send a pic of it ?Yes, on page 102 of American Secret Projects: Fighters & Interceptors 1945-1978And any pics of Grumman G-107 ?
Did this ever happen?overscan said:Evan, if I lived near you I'd volunteer to clean up your files. I'm sure lots of interesting items live in them!
*gentle chuckle* I'm absolute sure of that, I know some of the stuff in there. Even what I can find is interesting, I just need to scan a few things for here and elsewhere. Good thing I've got a holiday weekend coming up.
Hope you can persuade the Vought Heritage Foundation to let you access images of the V-391 and V-394 at some point!I send a mail to Vought Heritage Foundation , and they ask me " who is inquiring and what is the intended use?"Sum total of knowledge to date is from a Vought project list:

Pretty standard reply, as they have very limited resources.I send a mail to Vought Heritage Foundation , and they ask me " who is inquiring and what is the intended use?"
