Gaijin please gift us with bizarre things, here are some ideias below.
McDonnell XF-85 Goblin.
A USAF attempted to solve the challenge of fighter escorts lacking the appropriate range to support long-range bombers by developing airborne aircraft carriers. One of the earliest concepts would involve attaching parasite fighters, as they were called, to the bottom of B-36 Peacemaker intercontinental bombers.
SNECMA C.450 Coléoptère - A tail-sitting vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft designed by the French company SNECMA and manufactured by Nord Aviation
Lockheed XFV - The Lockheed XFV originated as a result of a proposal issued by the U.S. Navy in 1948 for an aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aboard platforms mounted on the afterdecks of conventional ships. Both Convair and Lockheed competed for the contract but in 1950, the requirement was revised, with a call for a research aircraft capable of eventually evolving into a VTOL ship-based convoy escort fighter. On 19 April 1951, two prototypes were ordered from Lockheed under the designation XFO-1
Leduc 022 - The Leduc 022 was the prototype of a mixed-power French interceptor built in the mid-1950s. Designer René Leduc had been developing ramjet-powered aircraft since before World War II and had flown a series of experimental aircraft, the Leduc 0.10 and Leduc 0.21, throughout the 1950s before he was awarded a contract for two examples of a short-range supersonic interceptor armed with two air-to-air missiles (AAMs).
