GD's alternative to the B-1A was the FB-111H, with a fuselage lengthened by 12ft, more powerful engines, redesigned fixed intakes and redesigned landing gear. Should the USAF have gone with this instead of the B-1?

Incredibly, this was a real proposal from Martin Marietta for a mission to Mars spacecraft back in the 60s! What do you think, this or SpaceX's Starship?

From the people who brought you the Space Shuttle - Rockwell International proposed the massive Star-Raker spaceplane in 1979. All the numbers were crunched and Rockwell thought it would work... but imagine the cost.

The most expensive design in Britain's 1955 interceptor contest was de Havilland's DH.117 at £937,000 per aircraft or £22.5m in today's money. A Eurofighter costs £125m! The DH.117 was designed to hit Mach 2.35 with 2xGyron Juniors and 1xSpectre rocket. 👉 https://t.co/YwU0IS8zPr

Despite the concept seeming rather absurd today, Saunders-Roe had big plans for the SR.A/1 water-based fighter in the late 1940s as this period magazine ad, showing an advanced version of the design, shows.
