Model of 1973 'Silent Night' concept for CAS & COIN aircraft with pre-stealth capabilities. Never built, but an interesting design.

"Silent Night" Stealth Fighter by Fantastic Plastic

The "Silent Night" stealth attack fighter was the baseline configuration included in a feasibility study North American Aviation had with the Office of Naval Research between 1971 and 1973. This was during the later stages of the Viet Nam War, when losses over North Viet Nam to Soviet metric radars were disturbing. The Navy wanted options to defeat these radars, then destroy them. The "Silent Night" was the result of this study.
