    Actually if Arthur can supply a slide of it, that would be handy 😉

    This sketch combines features of all 3 submissions, I believe it was released by the USAF while the actual submissions were classified.

    The project of this fighter-interceptor with the vertical takeoff and by landing was developed in Sukhoi OKB in 1963, with the initiative-taking group of young engineers, who recently left THE MAI project led by R.G. martirosov. Was developed draft design and they built the mock-up of very “sly” rotary cab. So were begun testings of model in wind tunnel in TSAGI. During August 1963 took place the protection of project on NTS MAP, project was very highly evaluated, but they considered further development as inadvisable.

    Aircraft was executed according to canard configuration with four wings. Power plant had to consist of two Tumansky turbojet engines. The jet vanes were established at the wing tips. Aircraft had to take off and be sat down vertically, to the tail, which created a large quantity of the difficulties: during the fitting the aircraft had to arise to the very high angle of attack, gradually hovering on the tail. On the same diagram in Germany was developed project He -231.

    The NAA (Rockwell) entry is well documented. It almost certainly inspired Sukhoi somewhat 😉 I can post some pics later.

    Those are late 70s advanced tactical fighter studies, not F-X ones.

    The MiG-15 was ready sooner, and easier to build. It was also larger, using the Nene rather than the Derwent, which probably made it a more useful fighter.

    I believe that Mikoyan was interested in the blown flaps of the Vigilante, not necessarily the aircraft’s entire configuration. I’ll look at Belyakov’s book later on and see if he has any insight.

    According to Yefim Gordon;

    “Rumour has it that the story of the MiG-25 began with a conversation between chief designer Artyom Ivanovich Mikoyan and lead designer Ya I Seletskiy. Mikoyan had just returned from the 1959 Paris airshow and ran into Seletskiy in a corridor and suggested that he should ‘draw an interceptor along the lines of the Vigilante but powered by two R15-300 engines, designed to fly at 300km/h and without all-too-sophisticated high-lift devices’. At the time, such a phrase from the OKB chief was tantamount to an official go ahead.”

    What hell is the Su 27 SK version?

    This really says everything I need to know about your Su-27 knowledge.

    I find it interesting that g limit INCREASES slightly above Mach 1.25. Is that normal?

    The factory will make them. Its the design bureau that are closed, so no new developments, but that doesn’t stop you building the existing stuff.
