118k Inuyasha8215  3.0 years ago

The Model 225A was McDonnell Douglas' entry in the Navy's VFX (Naval Fighter Experimental) competition in 1968, which resulted in the eventual selection of the Grumman G-303 design as the F-14. While the design never reached even a mockup, features of this configuration can be seen in the F-15 Eagle, designed only a few years later.
