USAF SUPERSONIC VTOL BOMBER 1968

This picture represents a supersonic C.T.O.V.L. bomber dressed as a U.S.A.F. aircraft of the 60's.
Vertical landing can be achieved by the four fans buried in the big wings, moved by the gas generated by the central turbofan engine.
Around the main engine are a cluster or rocket engines to be used only during enemy airspace penetration, in order to raise speed up to Mach 3.3 and so present a difficult target to air defenses.
This is a design I made in 2010 to a movie project that was finally shelved. It was never released and has never shown before.
