Cool The plane

This is a mix powered aircraft designed primarily as a point interceptor ( if it would have gone to production ).

It has a set of rocket motors in the aft fuselage ( like the German Me-163 Komet ) as well as turbojets mounted in pods on the stubby wing tips.


Speed was of the essence for this interceptor which is why the rocket engines were installed ( jet engines in the 1950's were still anemic ).

This plane would have carried a single missile under its belly.

The interest to me is the elegant smooth lines and all round fuselage and engine nacelles. It is slick and still looks futuristic today.
