U.S. FV-124 Aardwolf VSTOL Stealth Fighter-Bomber

Excerpt from Fox's Combat Aircraft of the World, 2090 to 2091:

Since the United States Air Force abandoned the Hawk project, which became the Navy Sea Hawk design, there has been pressure to develop an aircraft to fill the ground attack role that was less expensive than the Starblade fighter. The Hypersonic fighters are considered simply too expensive for the use by the Air Force in ground attack roles. The Hypersonic bombers are also considered too expensive and simply do not have the low altitude performance needed anyway. The old B-1E bomber, while much larger than what was desired, could fill this role but had already been retired. Some Air Force senior personnel simply advocated purchasing the Sea Hawk or maintaining the large number of Panther II fighters still in service but it was decided by the Chief of the Air Force that a new aircraft would be developed. His primary reason was that he wanted a higher payload than the Panther II or the Sea Hawk. He did decide to go against the idea of building a full sized bomber like some of his advisors suggested. His design wish list could be considered to be that of an updated F-111 using Stealth Technology and VTOL capability.

A-17 EXPERIMENTAL
Generally regarded as a fourth generation low-observable design, the A-17 is believed to have evolved from the YF-23 Advanced Tactical Fighter, and will replace the F-111 Fighter Bomber. The YF-23 lost out to Lockheed's F-22, but it's technology could easily be adapted for use on other projects.

Shaped with complex curves and compound curvature, the A-17 is contoured to minimise radar and aerothermal signatures as it carries out it's mission of electronic warfare and deep reconnaissance. The engine exhaust geometry is reminiscent of the B-2, where the aft section of the engine nacelle slopes down to meet the aft trailing edge of the tail. The engine exhaust is buried deep within the trough, effectively masking the infra-red signature from observation from below. The two large vertical tail surfaces, serve to mask the exhaust from the sides.

No positively-identifiable white world pictures exist of the plane, but sightings have been reported at RAF Boscombe Down in the UK, and Cannon AFB, New Mexico.

They're the reentry vehicles (MIRVs) of the Peacekeeper (MX) missile.

Anyways, thnx for posting the picture again.

An older design from Northrop, this looks to be part of the design for the B2A Spirit and released in 1977
