Yakovlev Yak-PLO.
This scale model reveals an extraordinary design powered by a single, massive, nose-mounted Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop (the engine from the Tu-95 Bear bomber) driving contra-rotating propellers. Note the huge upper radar radome. 1980s. ✈️🇷🇺

Before the 🇺🇸F-35B looked like this Lockheed was imagining THIS.

1990s CALF - ASTOVL concept

-Canard-delta layout
-Single engine + twin tails
-Internal weapons
-STOVL with a shaft-driven lift fan

The goal was simple - build one fighter design that could serve different services without creating completely different aircraft.
The concept never flew, but the idea kept moving

ALF➡️JAST➡️X-35B➡️F-35B

That lift fan? It eventually became the feature that made the F-35B unique.

What's an aircraft that you desperately want to see fly again?

In the mid-1960s, France was exploring the possibility of developing a small manned space shuttle launched by a carrier aircraft reminiscent of the Concorde. The project never got beyond the drawing board.
