Auto Credit Based on Kerbango's The no-prop biplane Challenge (Closed)

This aircraft was an experimental aircraft developed around the 70s. North American thought jet biplanes were the future. So they created the A-14 and handed the prototype to the air force. The aircraft failed with the Air Force. North American then decided to make this an export aircraft for countries. And it became a success. Around 341 models were exported to many different countries that don’t got the money for new modern jets.
