GAU-8 Gunship Concept
Sometimes you find weird stuff on the internet, and sometimes you have to share it.
I'm not exactly sure where this came from, but it's a drawing somebody at General Dynamics must've done.
The concept is just amazing on so many levels. Take the GAU-8 Avenger (from the A-10) and mount it in (on?) an F-16.
For the life of me I can't imagine why you'd ever want to do that, and from what little I know of aerodynamics it seems like this whole concept would be an absolute nightmare in all respects.
But it's the kind of thing that would be awesome in a video game like Ace Combat or something. And here I thought the Delta-7 was unique. I'm pretty sure that's Obi-Wan Kenobi in that cockpit.
