I don't know if this is any help, but several years ago I had a book
that had supposedly all of the military aircraft in them.  (You know,
the big, glossy books that you can find at B. Daltons)  In this book,
the had an artist drawing of a suppersonic, VTOL attack plane for the
navy.  Supposedly a prototype was supposed to be built from parts of
existing planes (nose from one type of plane, landing gear from another,
etc.).  I believe that they called it the A-11.  I think the builder was
supposed to be Rockwell.

I hope someone out there can either correct me, or give more
information.  It has been a long time since I've had this, and my memory
probably isn't all that good.
