Work has begun on V3N3. None of the articles in the original version can really blow up the way some other recent articles have, so in order to flesh the issue out a bit there will be a number of new articles. Already have a few planned. I have four planned articles that should prove kinda-sizable, so they’ll have to spread out over four issues. They are:

1: McDonnell Douglas FVS… swing wing F-4 Phantom II

2: Titan III derivative designs… of which there were just a whole hell of a lot

3: Early American Stealth concepts… stuff like Quiet Bird, stealthy designs for the TFX program, etc. on up to the XST

4: Stealthy designs for the US Navy… in particular, the A-12, with a passel of detailed diagrams.

The latter two will of course share features with each other, and with the F-23 article in V3N2.

Question: which should go in V3N3? Is there a concensus?

  1. 4: Stealthy designs for the US Navy… in particular, the A-12, with a passel of detailed diagrams.

    Personal preference.

  2. Which should go in? Well, this guy prefers aircraft to rockets, so things with wings please.

  3. the Titan III derivative designs, will this include also
    Titan IIIM/F for NASA use and USAF Barbarian Booster ?

  4. STEALTH, STEALTH, STEALTH!!!!

  5. 1) -> imho not so interesting
    2) -> no
    3) -> YES SIR!
    4) -> YES SIR!

  6. I’m a rocket man so I’d say Titan derivatives, which were preminent in a lot of roads not taken. And eveything that has to do with TFX, so early stealth would be ok. The rest, in V3n4…

  7. 1) Already have several articles on the F-4 FSV.

    2) OK

    3) YES SIR!

    4) YES SIR!
