What Might Have Been: A conceptual USAF/Northrop Grumman FB-23 prepares to take on fuel from a KC-10A. During the fall of 2005 Northrop Grumman released limited information regarding their FB-23 design for a stealthy deep-strike derivative of the YF-23A. Although drastically improving its range and payload, the FB-23 retained the tandem wing low observable attributes of the original YF-23A. The fuselage was lengthened to accommodate a larger weapons bay, and the cockpit was now a two-seat arrangement redesigned for sustained flight above Mach 2. The FB-23 proposal was not funded. Details are covered in Chapter 9 of, "A Complete History of U.S. Combat Aircraft Fly-Off Competitions", by Erik Simonsen. Erik Simonsen photo/illustration

The Convair XB-46 competed against the NAA XB-45, Boeing XB-47, and Martin XB-48 for a medium bomber contract during the late 1940s early 1950s. The swept-wing Boeing XB-47 was the eventual winner.

The Greatest Planes That Never Were

El Douglas 1211-J fue un diseño de aviones de bombardero desarrollado por el fabricante estadounidense Douglas para competir con el diseño Boeing B-52 para un importante contrato de la fuerza aérea estadounidense entre 1946 y 1954. El modelo 1211 - J era un diseño de 160 pies de largo con una envergadura de 227 pies, y era propulsado por cuatro motores turbohélice. El avión fue diseñado para transportar bombas convencionales, así como armas nucleares. También podría llevar sus propios cazas parásitos bajo sus alas. Los motores de reacción de estos cazas iban a ser alimentados para ayudar al bombardero portador durante el despegue; el repostaje de los cazas iba a tener lugar mientras estaban guardados en los soportes subalares de la nave nodriza.

A conceptual operational RAF/Northrop B-49B. Although the Northrop YB-49A Flying Wing had developmental problems with its flight control systems, it's interesting to contemplate a 'what if export', had those problems been solved. The USAF YB-49A program was canceled in 1949. Erik Simonsen photo/illustration

Si la foto corresponde al video de 1960 el misil Blue Steel no estaba operativo, queda solo el uso de bombas concesionales o nucleares de caída libre, repito para mi s pura propaganda.

What Might Have Been: Two RAF Vulcan bombers carrying the AGM-48A Skybolt Air Launched Ballistic Missile (ALBM). In March 1960 the Eisenhower administration signed the original agreement with the British government for 100 Skybolt missiles. The British MoD had spent 27 million pounds to modify the RAF Vulcan bomber to carry the AGM-48A Skybolt, when on November 7 1962 Sec. of Defense McNamara abruptly cancelled the Skybolt program. The British were quite upset because the cancellation came without any warning. This caused a serious diplomatic problem for President Kennedy. The Skybolt was intended as a standoff weapon for the B-52H and RAF Vulcan however, North American was conducting compatibility studies for the XB-70, that would greatly enhance its versatility. Remarkable for its time, the Skybolt was a hypersonic (Mach 12.4 – 9,500 mph) ALBM, that would be nearly impossible to defeat. The Skybolt had a range of 600 mi. or 1,000 mi. (depending on the type of warhead), and an operational B-70 would fly at high subsonic speeds to a designated launch point. After the Skybolt launch sequence the B-70 would jettison the pylons, and accelerate to high Mach to attack a secondary target. The total payload of the B-70 would be 50,000 lb., and with two Skybolts launched 28,000 lb. would remain in the internal payload bay. From Chapter 7 of the book, “Project Terminated”, Erik Simonsen.
