A reminder from Claudia.

The Vought/General Dynamics V1600 was a navalized version of the GD F16 proposed for the USN NACF program. The aircraft had structural strengthening, arrestor hook, and a more robust undercarriage. Eventually US Navy chose the evolution of YF17, the twin-engined F18(p Wikipedia)

F15N Sea Eagle was a proposed navalized version of Eagle. The first proposed model was a reinforced variant with foldable wing of F15A cheaper than F14 but less capable. F15N-PNX armed with AIM54 was heavier and no more competitive with the Tomcat (photo theaviationgeekclub com)

The Boeing Vertol 347 was a development of the CH47A realized in 1970. The experimental project reserched how to improve the future versions of the Chinook. A new fuselage section and new four blade rotors were added. A variable pitch wing increased the performance (Ph reddit)

The Grumman G698 was a concept for a V/STOL aircraft developed in the '80s. A couple of turbofan were fitted amidship near the centre of gravity. The engines were able to rotate to direct the trust downward (for take off and landing). Never built (Photo inf.news)
