Interesting american developments late 1970's...VFAX studies include one VSTOL concepts from Boeing and Grumman. I would like further information on these two proposals. Grumman also was proposing the Nutcraker as a possible VTOL for Destroyers and frigates...just an interesting concept..any have any additional photos
The Grumman VFAX was carried the designation G-623.
