Found on eBay: McDonnell Douglas / British Aerospace / Northrop Grumman JSF model


From 1994 through 1996, the McDonnell Douglas / British Aerospace / Northrop Grumman team participated in the Concept Definition and Design Research Phase of what was then known as the Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) program which was then renamed the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in early 1996. During that time, the McDonnell Douglas / British Aerospace / Northrop Grumman team completed several studies and tests on how they would approach the design of their aircraft. This model found on eBay represents one of the JSF concepts developed by McDonnell Douglas / British Aerospace / Northrop Grumman. On 16 November 1996, a downselection was announced which eliminated the McDonnell Douglas / British Aerospace / Northrop Grumman team from the JSF competition.
