One Response to “Air Drawing 7: Northrop N-176 Interceptor General Arrangement and Inboard Profile”
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Although this is sleeker, you can see a lot of the F-16’s layout and aerodynamics in this design. It must have been annoying for Northrop when something that looked a lot like one of their designs showed up as a competitor for their YF-17.
