In the early 1950s, the British Admiralty issued Naval Air Staff Target NAST 39, which laid out the service's requirements for a two-seat, carrier-based attack bomber for service at the end of the decade. This requirement was met, in 1955, by the brilliantly conceived and executed Blackburn/Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneer. But the Buccaneer was not the only response to the Navy's call. Nor was it the most innovative, despite its many advanced features. That distinction goes to one of the proposals that went unfunded, Short's radical, tailless PD.13. In keeping with the orthodoxies of the time, NAST 39 called for an aircraft optimized for low-level, high-subsonic, tactical nuclear strikes using a 1-kiloton nuclear bomb. This device would be delivered using a high-speed toss maneuver. At a point chosen by computer, the aircraft would pitch up sharply to lob the bomb towards the target and then follow up with an Immelman and a low-level escape. But NAST 39 also required a secondary, conventional attack and reconaissance capability. Both needs had to be met by a long-ranging aircraft that could operate from the comparatively small British carriers of the time. In 1952, the Ministry of Supply regularized NAST 39 as specification M.146T Short Brothers and Harland became invoved with M.146T at the instigation of the firm's chief test pilot, Tom Brooke-Smith. Brooke-Smith pointed out that the firm's ongoing research into improving the handling of high-speed wing shapes at low speeds and altitudes might give the firm considerable advantages in the M.146T contest, given the awkward combination of high weights, short take-off and landing distances, and high-speed, low gust-response aerodynamics that the specification demanded. This research was an extension of the work of Professor G.T.R Hill, the well-known proponent of tailless flight and the developer of the Pterodactyl aircraft of the 1930s. In the post-war years, Hill became interested int the handling problems that plagued the first generation of swept-wing, transonic fighters and research aircraft. He was able to show that, when applied to a swept surface, conventional structural principles let the wing twist in ways that nullified or reversed control inputs, producing instability and loss of control or structural failure. Hill's answer to this problem was twofold: an "aero-isoclinic" wing designed to flex in ways that enhanced stability and controllability and "tip controllers," all-moving wingtips that offered greater control power than conventional ailerons. Hill's ideas seemed to have merit when tested in the Short SB.1 glider and SB.4 Sherpa jet research aircraft. For M.145T, the Short Borthers design team proposed a evolutionary two seater with folding, aero-isoclinic wings, tip controllers, and Rolls-Royce RA.19 engines fitted with jet deflection. The the twin-wheeled nose landing gear retracted aft into the uselage, while the single-wheel main struts swung aft into streamlined blisters on the trailing edge of th sharply swept wing.The crew cabin recalled that of the de Havilland Sea Vixen. The pilot sat under a fighter-type bubble canopy to port, while the navigator sat beneath a flush-mounted hatch to his right The PD.13 offered too many advanced features to be successful, in fact. These innovations introduced clear risks without offering equally clear advantages. Tailless aircraft had a largely disastrous record at the time (witness the Dh.113). Jet deflection was a complete unknown that might cause all sorts of fatigue, deck handling, and stability problems. The tip controllers, though arguably advantageous for a high-altitude fighter, offered no real advantages in a strike airplane operating at sea level. , There were (and still are) doubts about the real efficacy of aero-isoclinic wing design, particularly since more conventional solutions (such as inboard ailerons slab tailplanes) were by now well-proven. Given the success of the less-radical but still very advanced Buccaneer, all this was enough to doom Short efforts..

The Dornier proposal envisaged the highly unorthodox configuration of an abbreviated fuselage nacelle mounted above twin floats by means of splayed aerofoil-section struts, an engine mounted fore and aft of the pilot in the fuselage nacelle, and vertical surfaces attached directly to the tails of the floats. The proposed power plants were either BMW IX 12-cylinder liquid-cooled Vee engines with an anticipated maximum output of 800 hp at 1,780 rpm or Daimler-Benz F 2 12-cylinder liquid-cooled inverted-Vee engines with a calculated maximum output of 1,000 hp at 1,800 rpm, and these were to be mounted as a tractor and as a pusher, their airscrews rotating in opposite directions to cancel out torque. The wing was mounted low on the fuselage nacelle and wire-braced to both the fuselage and the floats; the single-step floats possessed a high beam-to-length ratio and accommodated all fuel. A model of the Domier project was displayed at the Internationale Luftfahrt Ausstellung (ILA) in 1928, but no funds were forthcoming for the construction of a prototype. By coincidence, one of Italy's entries in the 1929 Schneider Trophycontest, the Savoia-Marchetti SM 65 (eventually withdrawn from the competition), bore a striking resemblance in concept to the Dornier project. http://www.unicraft.biz/germ/do-racer/do-racer.htm.

At the end of 1935 Airspeed was invited to tender for a high speed fighter to specification F35/35. The firm submitted a highly unconventional design with a pilot egg-shaped nacelle positioned behind the machine itself. The main reason for such layout was giving the pilot extremely good view in the air and on landing approach in particular. The well proven 745hp Kestrel engine combined with clean aerodynamic shape was to give the aircraft an exceptional performance. This was proved by testing a wind-tunnel model. Unfortunately, this revolutionary design was too ahead of its time and was soon cancelled. One of the reasons was that due to the position of the nacelle a pilot would hardly withstand high g-loads on tight manoeuvres. Specifications:.

The VG60 is the latest draft of propeller fighter from the engineer Galtier, wonderful father to VG33-39 of 1940. The study was begun in 1940 and taken over by the Germans during the years of occupation. Finally it was proposed in May 1945 with a German engine, the Jumo 213 E junker 1750 CV. Significantly larger than its predecessors, it retained the general appearance and the aerodynamic characteristics. ventral radiator was installed inside the rear fuselage, with air then rejected by the tail. very powerful weapons, would have included 8 of 12.7 mm machine guns in the wings and a 20mm gun HS 404 in the engine axis. the project was finally abandoned after wind tunnel tests however conclusive .
