The Lyrics

The D-24 Alliance was a 1965 proposal for a NATO VTOL fighter that Fokker intended to develop with Republic. There is a model of the aircraft in the Netherlands Air Museum in Lelystad. The D-24 would have been somewhat akin to the Republic XF-103, though slower. It would have had a range of 3,000 miles at Mach 1.5, and an internal weapons carriage of multiple long-range air-to-air missiles. It was intended to defeat the atmospheric threat — high performance, cruise-missile launching bombers. It would feature autonomous sensing, so there would have been no dependence on AWACS, nor on aerial refuelling It was proposed that the vectored-thrust Bristol Siddeley BS.100/3 with a thrust potential of 17500kg be used by the Alliance, with plenum chamber burning in the two forward swiveling nozzles, and it was calculated that VTO weight with 2270kg useful military load would be of the order 15,875kg while STO weight would rise to 20,400kg or more. Anticipated performance included Mach 1.25 capability at 150m rising to Mach 2.4 at altitude, with service ceiling topping 21,335m. The joint Fokker-Republic Project Division at Schipol was headed by Alexander Wadkowsky of Republic Aviation, but the NBMR-3 requirement proved contentious from the outset, inspiring much antagonism, both nationalistic and between competing companies, with the result that this highly ambitious and perhaps too far-sighted program drifted to its demise. Republic Aviation submitted a broadly similar project to that of the Alliance in the USN's VAX attack aircraft contest, but failed to find favor.
Odd Fokker D-24 little knew
Swing-wing delta design

Joint Fokker-Republic fighter for NATO
Vector-thrust applyin’
Mach 2.4 flyin’

Was to be a high alt. bandit
No AWACS around
Autonomous sensing a feature
Cruise missile carrier hard to shoot down

Odd Fokker D-24 little knew
Swing-wing delta design
From ‘65

Cooperation new
Cooperation new
Cooperation new
But mutual distrust grew
Never would make the air
Bristol Siddeley complexity
Development fell through

Mock-up only
Odd Fokker D-24 little knew
Swing-wing delta design
(Republic proposed VAX to Navy)

A very sharp looking plane. Almost looks like it could take on the cruise missile itself, and not just the launch plane. Where do you keep finding these obscurities? I've heard of planes with variable wings, but never folding auxiliary wings. Wonder how that would have worked in real flight situations.

Patrick, I do not find them, I know them by heart after over 3 decades of research and a lot of personal experience from my father's Intel work and his associates'. On my own sites I have several thousand rare a/c and overall online I have posted on over 20,000 a/c. These are nothing to me, really... yawn... I literally can go on forever here with these type of parodies and also other weapon systems. The people here who don't know me really don't want to challenge in these areas and especially not the Third Reich... but enjoy or make requests. I special in world disc a/c history too and will do the Soviet Discoplans shortly with pics.
