predecessor to the Su-24 "Fencer", it had a cranked-delta wing and had
four Kolesov RD-36-35 liftjets installed in a bay behind the cockpit to
achieve STOL capability. However, tests confirmed that the short-field
performance was achieved at the cost of significant loss of flight
distance as the lift engines occupied space normally reserved for fuel,
loss of under-fuselage hardpoints, and instability during transition
from STOL to conventional flight. So the lift-engine approach was
abandoned in favor to the variable-geometry wings</span></span><br />

"23-01" but also known as the MiG-23PD, was a tailed delta similar to
the MiG-21 but with two lift jets in the fuselage. It was created as
response to VVS demands for a new aircraft to replace the MiG-21.
However, it became apparent very early that this configuration was
unsatisfactory, as the lift jets became u<span class="text_exposed_show">seless
dead weight once airborne. The second prototype, known as "23-11",
featured variable-geometry wings which was proved to be much more
promising and went on the become the well known Mig-23 "Flogger"<br /> <br />
Despite not entering production, the Mig-23PD was nevertheless
designated "Faithless" by NATO. Because like its "Faceplate"
predecessor, NATO incorrectly assumed that this is the plane that will
enter production.</span></span></span><br />

Infantry recommended to the US Army Ordnance C<span class="text_exposed_show">orps
to study a 50-ton tank design. The first one was a projected
multi-turreted model with a main 75 mm (2.95 in) turret, a secondary one
with a 37 mm (1.46 in) gun and coaxial M1919A4, and another, smaller
turret with a 20 mm (0.79 in) gun and coaxial cal.30 (7.62 mm) plus four
cal.30 machine guns in each corner of the tank in ball mounts. In was
approved on 11 June 1940 under the ordnance prototype registration T1
heavy tank. The T1 had to be fitted with a cast hull and hydramatic
transmission. However, this design already appeared as outdated. In
October, this was changed for a more conventional approach, the T1E1.<br /> <br />
This second design asked for a single three-man turret with a
vertically-stabilized 3 in gun (75 mm) coupled with a coaxial 37 mm
(1.46 in) gun. The turret was cast and had an electric drive and manual
traverse. There was also a bow mount with a twin cal.50 (12.7 mm)
machine gun handled by the assistant driver. The commander cupola and
some other parts were borrowed from the M3 Lee. The suspension was also
borrowed from the M3, being a standard vertical volute spring (VVSS),
with four bogies per side, but the tracks were doubled in width, with
two rubber shoes instead of one. The upper tracks reposed on a guide
rail and the entire side was protected by large, one-piece side skirt.
With armor ranging from 83 mm (3.27 in) to 44 mm (1.73 in) and a sloped
hull. So the overall weight was a staggering 50+ tons. Due to this, the
main issues were the engine and transmission.<br /> <br /> The Society of
Automotive Engineers was charged with finding a suitable combination.
The Wright G-200 air-cooled radial gasoline engine was initially
selected, and in alternative served with an electric transmission or a
hydramatic one, and another with a torque converter. Three prototypes
were ordered but only two were delivered early in 1942 by Baldwin
Locomotive Works, using the electric transmission and torque converter.
One differed by having a cast hull, while the other had a welded one. On
26 May 1942, other prototypes of both series were ordered under the
T1E1 designation (unofficially M6A2), with electric transmission, welded
hull, 20 being built, and T1E2 (M6), wit the torque converter, with a
cast hull, 8 built. <br /> <br /> Eventually, after many unit trials, the
Ordnance Corp advised to concentrate only on the torque converter
variants, and a third improved series, the T1E3 (M6A1) was ordered.
Recommendations included that 115 M6s would be built for US army service
and 115 others for the Allies, starting in December 1942. These series
vehicles were given a two-piece cupola hatch and ring mount for an AA
cal.50 (12.7 mm). The left front machine-gun was removed. However the
Armored Corps had quickly grasped the utility of having a single tank
type in service, cheaper and easier to carry, the Sherman, and the
production was stopped. The development however did not end there.<br /> <br />
By early 1944, indeed, the M6A1 was successfully tested with the new
experimental T7 90 mm (3.54 in), but a new turret layout was urgently
needed. In August 1944 the Ordnance Corps recommended an experimental
series of 15 T1E1s with a new turret, later known as the M6A1E2. Main
features were the new, tall and roomy turret with a pronounced rear
turret basket from the T29 heavy tank prototype, a new sloped hull, 7.5
in (190 mm) thick at the front and a T5E1 105 mm (4.13 in) gun giving an
overall weight of 77 tons. This project was rejected by General
Eisenhower, but the development of heavy tanks was not terminated.
Another project would lead eventually to the excellent M26 Pershing. <br /> <br />
Since the M6 was never approved for mass-production, the only small
series built remained on American soil, for training purpose, unit
maneuver drills, and later propaganda movies, war bond tours and various
related displays throughout the United States. On 14 December 1944, the
M6 was declared obsolete and all but one of these scrapped, the latter
now stored on display at the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum, at Aberdeen,
Maryland.</span></span></span><br />

First seen in 2005 as a prototype of a Heavy Personnel Carrier built on
