TheHawker Siddeley P.1017 was a proposed RAF/Fleet Air Arm VTOL capable strike fighter concept.[1][2]
In 1962, Hawker-Siddeley developed a design for the P.1017 short/vertical take-off and landing carrier-based attack aircraft to possibly replace or complement theBlackburn Buccaneer aircraft. The design was to usevariable-sweep wings,lift engines installed in the nose/tail sections of the fuselage, and main enginenacelles with a nozzle that could deviate to change thethrust vectoring. The aircraft had a T-shaped tail, although a version with aV-tail was also developed.
