US Bomber Projects #05
"US Bomber Projects" is a series of short magazines or booklets covering eight or so designs of unbuilt American bombardment aircraft per issue. These are all "real" designs, put forward by major aerospace corporations or government design bureaus; nothing here is science fictional or fantasy... though some may certainly seem like it.
The designs in each issue will be unrelated to each other, but there will be €œarcs€ through the issues. The development of the B-48, B-52 and B-59, for example, are covered from the earliest issues. All designs are presented with descriptive text, data and diagrams created specifically for US Bomber Projects.
US Bomber Projects #05 contains information and diagrams on:
* McDonnell-Douglas ATB: The little know third competitor for the B-2
* McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing DF-9: A Mach 10 global-range strike/space launch system from the 1990's
* Boeing Model 701-273-5: A supersonic bomber with an extreme inverse-taper wing
* Fairchild N-9: An early 1950's nuclear powered concept
* Martin Model 223-5: A predecessor to the B-48 with canards
* Rockwell D645-5: A subsonic 1978 flying wing bomber designed to use a laser for defense against fighters and missiles
* North American 464L: NAA's X-15 derived orbital spaceplane concept for the Dyna Soar program
* Boeing Model 464-17: 1946 four-turboprop strategic bomber, a step toward the B-52
