Air Force: No Plan To Retire A-10
http://198.65.138.161/org/news/2003/030609-a-10-retire01.htm
Burt Rutan was working on a replacement design for the A-10, but he’s apparently been unable to get anyone in the military interested in them.
That was the Predator, wasn’t it? I never saw what it offered over the A-10, other than that strange asymmetric engine inlet design to keep the gun exhaust out of the engine.
Dunno. The interview with Rutan I read didn’t have any photographs as Rutan was still keeping the plane underwraps at that point.
Rutan’s attack aircraft prototype is called ARES (Agile Responsive Effective Support). More photos here.
In fact it was called the Ares Fighter
It did appear on a movie (Iron Eagle II?) as the bad guy´s plane.
