>The MBB Lampyridae (Latin for Fireflies) was a low-observable medium missile fighter (MRMF) developed during the 1980s by the German aerospace company Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB).[1]
>During 1981, work commenced at MBB on developing a design for a viable stealth aircraft; the effort was supported by a contract that had been issued by the German Air Force. Also known as the Medium Range Missile Fighter (MRMF), it had been conceived that a fighter could be both lighter and cheaper if it was so superior at mid-range combat as to allow it to discard the requirement to perform close-range combat.
>During 1987, the existence of the Lampyridae project and its design was revealed to the United States in the form of a group of United States Air Force (USAF) officers, who were shown the piloted model, which was kept in a closed-off section of MBB's manufacturing facility at Ottobrunn, Bavaria, Germany. That same year, the Lampyridae project was terminated for unspecified reasons; diplomatic pressure on the part of the US has been attributed.

The glorious Avro Arrow.

>The Dornier Do 31 was a West German experimental VTOL jet transport built by Dornier. The Do 31 was designed to meet a NATO specification (NBMR-4) for a tactical support aircraft for the EWR VJ 101 VTOL strike aircraft designed under the NATO contract of BMR-3.[1] The project was cancelled in 1970 owing to high costs, technical problems and a change of requirement.
Caleb Lee
This fat bastard of a tank meant for nuclear warfare
Jack Sullivan
SAAB 36. Mach 2.5 nuclear bomber meant to fly across the baltic sea at wave level and strike Kaliningrad and Leningrad.
Swedish military had to choose between this + nukes or the Viggen multirole fighter. They went with Viggen and decided to sign anti-nuke treaty.
Grayson Parker
Alternate configuration. The US also experimented with a strike fighter/bomber with top intake, the F-107.
Ethan Ross
Project Pluto obviously
Nicholas White
Austin Campbell
Never cancelled, it was a technology demonstrator and never meant for mass production, just data collection.
Still super cool.
Sebastian Jones
Luis Green
A supersonic interceptor loaded with long-range radar-guided nuclear AAMs. Distantly related to the SR-71 by way of the A-12, with marginally higher performance. The radar eventually went on to be used in the F-14.
Connor Johnson
Elijah Reed
aww that's qt
Xavier Adams
What happened to that thing, anyway?
Jack Butler

The Next Generation Bomber concepts are neat. Some are high speed. These projects were cancelled with the switch to the low cost LRSB project which Northrop of course won.
This was Boeings.
Christopher Ortiz
Development hell and procurement scam that went out of control and over budget by Osprey levels, then deemed not needed because "we'll just use Kiowas and then drones".
Luke Young
That looks like an absolute bitch to do maintenance on for those middle treads.
Luis Gonzalez
Lockheed.
Angel Long
It looks like a single engine F-117
Why did the Americans want it cancelled?
Thomas Ward
Northrop
Landon Harris
So basically like everything else, except it got cancelled and others didn't?
Adrian Wilson
I figure a 6th Gen Fighter is going to be similar to this as the Air Force has signaled its high priority 6th Gen project would be able to escort B-21 on long range missions.
Dylan Hill
The original happy plane.
Justin Ortiz
Northrop seems to really like this intake design on high speed stealth planes. The FB-23 has the same type of cones if this pic showed the underneath
Jason Powell
It was estimated to cost 27 billion dollars to procure the 650 required, and then they would need upgrades because the requirements were drafted in 1991 and they were slated to enter service in 2007.
Thomas Morgan
>Why did the Americans want it cancelled?
to keep their headstart in stealth technology, I suspect
Ethan Allen
Right, but how is that any worse than the Bradley or Osprey?
Ayden Richardson
Was it cancelled or was it 'cancelled, but let's keep doing it under the table?'
Elijah Campbell
pretty sure it was cancelled for good
Sebastian Reyes
This makes the Mini sad.
Angel Cook
I Wish we lived in the timeline where Switzerland and Sweden got nukes, you can’t achieve true neutrality without nukes.
Evan Walker
Perhaps Russia would behave better with a nuclear state right next to them.
Anthony Price
Jordan Ward
I don't want another Muslim country to get nukes, Sven.
Jaxson Butler
I doubt it would change anything, with the American naval supremacy the us effectively already have nukes right across the border or coastline of Russia.
Andrew Jackson
Something that never exists cant really be a cancelled prototype...

Jace Sanders

Sure thing kid

Kevin Martinez
Jordan Bell
late cold war soviet tank prototypes were a interesting bunch
a lot of them used t-64 running gear, or at least the roadwheels
Brandon Roberts
>How do you make the best plane even better?
Eli Morris
F-15 looks great with canards, I'm not completely sold on the thrust-vectoring though. It looks kinda out of place.
Lucas Fisher
Unironically the ideal plane for the USAF as a future complement for the F-35.
Luis Lopez
Is that an external breech block? It would auto-load up into the breech and then just dump casings onto the engine deck?
Logan Sullivan
gun was external
don't know how loader worked. guess it had 2 part ammunition like all soviet tank guns since the t64 and that is almost completely combustible
Jason Evans
the gunner and the commander were in the left half of the turret and the loader was in the right one
Asher Ortiz
The XF-84H was quite possibly the loudest aircraft ever built, earning the nickname "Thunderscreech" as well as the "Mighty Ear Banger". On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles away. Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run. Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the T40's dual turbine sections, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews. In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H.
The pervasive noise also severely disrupted operations in the Edwards AFB control tower by risking vibration damage to sensitive components and forcing air traffic personnel to communicate with the XF-84H's crew on the flight line by light signals. After numerous complaints, the Air Force Flight Test Center directed Republic to tow the aircraft out on Rogers Dry Lake, far from the flight line, before running up its engine. The test program did not proceed further than the manufacturer's Phase I proving flights; consequently, no USAF test pilots flew the XF-84H. With the likelihood that the engine and equipment failures coupled with the inability to reach design speeds and subsequent instability experienced were insurmountable problems, the USAF cancelled the program in September 1956.

Its hard to pick one but if i had to it would be the Energia and Buran. Fuck this timeline.
Jeremiah Brown
yeah. More so the energija launcher than the buran in my opinion. Really fucking sad.

Would look better if the thrusters were in the same camoflage scheme as the rest.
Leo Jones
the energija was also planned with future upgradeability in mind. The next generation boosters were supposed to return to an airstrip with folding wings and two turbofan engines, and later versions were also supposed to have a reusable center stage. Should have been feasible, had the soviet union not collapsed and funding ran out. The falcon heavy is the first rocket since to get even close in lifting capability, we lost at least 30 years towards a reusable super heavy launcher.
Connor Diaz
The A12, aka the Flying Dorito, was the planned replacement for the A6 Intruder. It would have provided the USN a medium range stealth attach platform by the late 1990's. Unfortunately, due to the end of the Cold War, Secretary of Defense Cheney had it killed in the early 90's during the GHW Bush admin.

this, it was a damn shame because it was far stealthier then the yf22 but it was more mameuverable than 23.
