DESCRIPTION

Developed as part of the Advanced Manned Interceptor (AMI) program at the start of the 1970s, this Mach 6 vehicle was also proposed as a GIUK gap interceptor for interdicting Soviet warships entering the middle Atlantic ocean. Launched from an airbase on the US East coast, it could arrive at the last known contact point before the ship had moved out of detection range. The design was a delta wing blended body with main structure and fuel tanks of aluminum construction and thermal protection by insulated metal shingles. Powered by two turboramjets using subcooled liquid methane fuel with a vertical ramp inlet.

This design was later among the ones that inspired many of the hypothetical AURORA hypersonic spyplane concepts devised in the media during the late 1980s and early 1990s. This is probably the closest you can get to a real-world equivalent of AURORA.

Modeled after report drawings from 1973. No landing gear since the configuration is not available in source material.

The printable model has fuselage and engine as separate parts. Model units are millimeters scaled to 1/144 with 183 mm length and 73 mm wingspan.
