If you would like to help fund the acquisition and preservation of such things, along with getting high quality scans for yourself, please consider signing on either for the APR Patreon or the APR Monthly Historical Documents Program.

hello.. this entry reminded me of an article I found in an issue of Aerospace America back in the early/mid 1990’s called the Reverse Inlet Vectored Exhaust Technology or RIVET concept… essentially the inlet was at the dorsal rear of the aircraft, with the engine being mounted with the exhaust facing forwards thru a Pegasus-inspired thrust vectoring assembly… have you by any chance heard of this?
