A McDonnell Douglas or BAe advanced Harrier project of some description?

It is a Mcdonnell Douglas project, but if you come up with a project number, you'll get control.

Plenum Chamber Burning - as per the Harrier.

I have given you the project model above.



The McDonnell Douglas Model 279-3 is a wing/canard design with a 48,800lb
gross weight for a ski-jump take-off. Powerplant is a PCB-equipped Pegasus-type
engine by Pratt & Whitney, associate to Rolls-Royce on the US Marine Corps
AV-8B Harrier II programme. Instead of the raked intakes associated with
supersonic flight, the Model 279-3 has short inlets of the type used
successfully on the AV-8B, but with half-cone centrebodies.

Morning Graeme. Yes it does have "racing looks", but no, built for military purposes.

Noyade 17th Apr 2012 10:39

Biplane or monoplane mate?

Lightning Mate 17th Apr 2012 10:41

If it's a monoplane then it looks shoulder wing.
