US VTOL Projects #3
US VTOL Projects #3 is now available (see HERE for the entire series). Issue #2 includes:
- Lockheed CL-579: An optionally-manned “communications satellite” for after WWIII
- Vanguard Model 18: A short range passenger transport from the 60s with slightly unusual wings
- Hiller STORC: A helicopter that could convert into a conventional aircraft for long-range ferry flights
- North American Rockwell NR-356 Sea Control Fighter: The design that led to the failed XFV-12A
- Bell D181: One of the first VTOL “assault transports”
- Hiller Anti-Submarine Warfare Drone Tailsitter: An unmanned pulsejet-powered torpedo-launcher
- Gates Twinjet: An ill-timed executive transport helicopter
- McDonnell Douglas VT107-4-4I: A short-range VTOL jetliner from the early 70s
While this issue covers the usual eight designs, note that it’s about 50% longer than similar, earlier issues. The delay in publication was due in large part to working on several book… and working on several books seems to have led me to be more verbose in my descriptions. So hopefully this means a better product!
USVP #3 can be downloaded as a PDF file for only $5.25:

Tell us about the upcoming books!
At the present time, “US Supersonic Bomber Projects Vol 2” is the only one confirmed, and it is *mostly* done. Text, illustrations,m reference sections are complete and sent to publisher; all that’s left is the data table. After that… this is why I’m back to the USxP idea. I have notions for future books, but none are contracted at this time.
