Lockheed L-133 Starjet 3D model

‏Lockheed L-133 Starjet

The L-133 was an exotic design started in 1939 which was proposed to be the first jet fighter of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. The single-seat fighter was a radical design that had an unusual blended wing-body featuring a futuristic-appearing canard design with slotted flaps to enhance lift. It was supposedly capable of 612 mph (985 km/h) in level flight. The USAAF turned down the 1942 proposal saying that it was too advanced for the time.
