Hello SOC

The only info about SENIOR CITIZEN i have is this: (from http://personal.inet.fi/cool/foxfour/black/aircraft.html)

Boeing “Senior Citizen”
The codename “Senior Citizen” was originally thought to be associated with the rumoured Aurora reconnaissance plane, but it is now thought to be a stealth V/STOL special forces transport aircraft. Boeing and Northrop probably participated in a DARPA competition in the late 1980s and Boeing’s proposal was chosen for development. Funding for the project was ceased in 1993, presumably before the aircraft was ready. However, there are some sighting reports of a large, slow moving double delta winged aircraft. A drawing by an anynomous Boeing employee seems to descriebe this plane and it resembles a published Boeing study for such a vehicle.

The attached pic is very old, I would say I saw it first about 1995

This Lockheed proposal reminds me of the english FOAS project, the Future Offensive Air System, which already proposed to replace a bomber by soemthing else, e.g. by a cruse-missiles cariing C-17 or an UCAV.

btw: we had this thread before, started by Moskit, under the title “USAF Interim Strike” and contending the full text, here:

Indian 5th generation aircraft

and not russian is the title of this topic, so we should talk here about the MCA and not about the PAK-FA

result of a short googeling:

The Medium Combat Aircraft [MCA] is projected as the replacement for the Jaguar and Mirage 2000 fleets in the IAF. It is under design at the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in Bangalore. The MCA will cost $2 billion to develop and will be a tailless delta design with two engines, combined with a thrust vectoring control capability. It is hoped that the engines on the aircraft will develop a thrust-to-weight ratio of 7.8:1. Although it is unclear which company will be selected to supply the engines; SNECMA, Klimov and General Electric have been identified as potential suppliers
