McDonnell 'family' rear end; a posterior question:

[Daryl J.]

Are there any other aircraft that have the characteristic rear end of the early McDonnell jet aircraft besides the XF-88 Voodoo, F-101 Voodoo, F3H-x Demon, "F3H-G" Spectre, and Phantom?   If yes, is there a link?   Proposed aircraft also acceptable  that never made it to the mockup stage.

TIA,

Daryl J. with a rather off the wall question

[Edit]:  Clarification below, & apologies to Jon.

The 'McDonnell' posterior is the result of using mid fuselage mounted engines that exhaust under the tail and is also found on other manufacturers designs.

i.e.

Douglas X-3

Northrop X-4, F-89

Oopps....sorry to not clarify:  specifically aircraft prototypes, mockups, and proposals within the McDonnell brand only.   
My bad.   


And the general direction this is going is for ideas to incorporate into the Lindberg XF-88 Voodoo and the 1/48 Monogram F-4 Phantom series.

There are a few described in American Secret Projects: Fighters Daryl.  I can't find pics on the net, but versions of the Model 90 & Model 110 had the classic layout.

The Model 90 was an F-8 competitor based on the Demon with a straight tapered wing & horizontal tail (similar to the F-104), chin intake & single J 57. The Model 91 was very similar but smaller.

The Model 110A & 111A were two similar studies. The 110A was powered by three J 67's or J75's (one slightly forward in of the other two in the 'boom')  & was a study for the heavy inteceptor requirement won by the never to fly F-108.  The 111A was a study with two J 67's after the end of the competition.  Both aircraft are quite similar, they closely resmeble the Tu-128.

One of the more well known is the swing wing version of the Phantom, the F-4(FV)S:

Thanks!   That's more information than hoped for as the question was rather a long shot.

Where this is all leading to is to take a Hasegawa Phantom and backdate/reconfigure it to a  counterpart  similar to the F3H-H/G but equipped for photo recon duties. It would serve the Navy alongside the Demon and Phantom through a 50 year service similar to the Canberra PR.9.   Additionally, the Air Force would get a machine for the same type of role but based off the XF-88 with fiddly bits that look like they came from the F-101 and Phantom.   Cameras, engines, electronics all to be invented.

Now to put knife to plastic and pencil to plans.

Thanks again guys,
Daryl J.

Don't forget the Jaguar and Mitsubishi F1/T2 - they have a very Phantom like rear end.
