Preserving Aviation HIstory

The General Dynamics Model 44 was a design study for a variable-sweep wing fighter, submitted for the VFX proposal. The proposed aircraft featured a variable-geometry (swing) wing design and reportedly resembled a smaller version of the controversial General Dynamics F-111B. Almost looks like a variant of the F4D Skyray! #model44 #vfxconcepts #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Did you know there was a mockup of an F-14 with a single vertical stab? Grumman considered a single tail configuration, often associated with the 303E design, to reduce weight and complexity. #f14 #f14tomcat #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
