| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
Based on the A4 Skyhawk, the
640 was Douglas Aircraft's proposal for a jet fighter that could be
launched by specially-equipped submarines. The plane would be sent
airborne via catapult. Having no landing gear, it would either have
to land on solid ground via a skid or perhaps be recovered following a
water landing. The plan never got beyond the design stage. |
