A visitor from United States posted Mon April 15, 2013: This must be an extremely loud aircraft, with its 4 turbojet engines! Four engines may seem overkill nowadays, but in the mid-50s, when this plane was developed, the early jet engines didn't have much thrust, and take-off performance of the larger early quads (like the earliest 707 and DC8s) was only marginal at best. The B52, which is from the same era, has 8 engines, if it were developed today it would certainly be a twin.
A visitor from - posted Thu January 5, 2012: 5 stars for the most ridiculous design... 4 (!) engines for such a small aircraft...WOW! Cheers
A visitor from - posted Mon October 17, 2011: Looks like a Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner with DC-8 Engines.
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 12, 2011: Looks very much like the B-58 Hustler bomber of an earlier era. (late 50's to early 70's) Search "B-58" and compare.
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 12, 2011: A sleek tail fin! This must be the smallest quad-jet ever built?
A visitor from - posted Mon January 31, 2011: Very neat biz-jet...Too bad the biz-jet market didn't exist yet
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 27, 2010: Maybe a designer in common with the B-58 Hustler? Possibly a competitor in the Lockheed L-1329/C-140 Jetstar market? Now, if this came with Afterburners... HA! DtD
A visitor from - posted Tue June 15, 2010: Such an odd plane, looks like a Gulf @ the front, then mini DC-8 engines. Nice pic
