#avgeek #aviation #Mirage - The Dassault MD-750 was a 1960s Mach 3+ project that I don't believe ever reached the prototype phase. Thanks @yvemor for telling me about it. @kadonkey @Sylvia70485099 @clark_aviation
#TopGunMaverick - Clint Eastwood's #Hollywood #Firefox was a great #Coldwar #avgeek flick about a thought-controlled MiG-31. Clockwise from top left: the MiG-31 Firefox, Hermeus Halcyon, XF-108 Rapier concept and Firefox again. @kadonkey @dragongirl94 @one0nine @hermeuscorp

He has a few sandwiches, some tea, a massive 450-gallon (1700 l) fuel in tanks in front of and above him, two small side windows and a retractable periscope.

Swept back, the variable geometry wings would have nearly joined the tail. But this was too heavy leading to the more conventional approach used above. @milmodelscene @AvHistorian
