US Bomber Projects #04

US Bomber Projects #04

"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.<br /><br />The designs in each issue will be unrelated to each other, but there will be “arcs” 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.<br /><br />US Bomber Projects #04 contains information and diagrams on:<br /><br />* McDonnell System 464L: McDonnell’s entry into the initial Dyna Soar contest, 1958<br />* Lockheed-Martin Falcon: A recent design for an unmanned hypersonic global range bomber<br />* Lockheed Senior Peg: Lockheed’s competitor to the Northrop B-2<br />* Boeing Mobile Missile Carrier: A giant hydrogen fueled amphibian<br />* Boeing Model 701-273-4: A very asymmetrical supersonic predecessor to the B-59<br />* Lockheed Cruise Missile Carrier: A large nuclear-powered cargo plane converted to carry 90 cruise missiles<br />* Boeing Model 462-5: A six-turboprop B-52 ancestor<br />* Martin Model 223-4: A twin-fuselage design on the road to the B-48 <br /><br />To see more on US Bomber Projects and related publications, check out: <br />http://www.aerospaceprojectsreview.com<br />
