Citadelgrad Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I fell in love with that dart when i saw it as a boy at Wright Patt. So cool but so underpowered. Violator1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank83 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 If only this aircraft had gotten the engines it begged for... Maybe military aviation of the 50s could have jumped a few steps ahead... scvrobeson, LSP_K2, mattcour and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator1991 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) The X-3 had quite proven that a long and sleek airframe with small a wing area could hold well in the air with managable flight charasteristics. It may not have made it to its intended speed but thanks to its legacy, the F-104 did it for it. See how similar the two concepts are, especially the geometry of the wings.

mattcour Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 It also seems to have lended its nozzle area plating to the future MDD Phantom II. Douglas engineers' job, most probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not a shape or geometry issue, I think the red band around the fuselage on the engines is also transferred to the F-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
