In 1953, The Project for an American flying wing was issued by the CEO of Fairlady. The project was named Project Javelin. The initial design of the 401 was a glider, but in 1959 the Javelin was given a set of engines that propelled it to 550mph. Sadly, in 1965 the project was cancelled due to focus on the F-39K. Only 25 examples of the 401 are in existence.

@XxHELLCAT2GOOD4UxX I will take a look at it
@Mustang51 thanks man, have you checked out my F-39 J1? It's basically a mustang with a Yak-3 in one with Jet engines.
This is a really nice aircraft! It’s also probably for the best that the previous comment was removed hahaha
