在每一架世界闻名的美国飞机背后——从尖端技术的洛克希德 F-22 猛禽到长期服役的波音 B-52 Stratofortress——都存在着一个秘密的飞机设计历史，这些设计被计划但从未建造。对于每一架进入生产的洛克威尔 B-1 Lancer 或通用动力 F-16 战斗鹰，都有成百上千个概念；这些渐进的步骤使得最终设计在设计者的图纸上逐渐成长并成形。在美国航空秘密项目系列中，美国航空航天工程师和飞机开发专家斯科特·洛瑟详细探讨了为美国一些最具创新性和先进性的飞机所提出的广泛不同变体和配置。每一期都配有比例图，展示了研究过的许多不同设计，并提供已知尺寸和技术信息。
Behind every world-famous American aircraft – from the cutting-edge Lockheed F-22 Raptor to the long-serving Boeing B-52 Stratofortress – there exists a secret history of aircraft designs that were planned but never built. For every Rockwell B-1 Lancer or General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon that has entered production there have been dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of concepts; evolutionary steps which saw the final design gradually growing and taking shape on the designers’ drawing boards. In the US Aviation Secret Projects series, American aerospace engineer and aircraft development specialist Scott Lowther looks in detail at the vast range of different variants and configurations proposed for some of the United States’ most innovative and advanced aircraft. Each issue is fully illustrated throughout with scale diagrams showing the many different designs studied, with dimensions and technical information provided where known.
