The North American F-107 Ultra Sabre is the
only American jet fighter ever to have an air intake on the top of its fuselage.
Three aircraft were built in answer
to U.S.A.F. requirements for a fighter/bomber to deliver a nuclear payload while
flying at up to twice the speed of sound.
To make room for the fire control
radar, the engine air intake of the North American F-107 was moved to the top of
the fuselage behind the cockpit.
Rather than ailerons, the aircraft
used spoilers which allowed it to roll at supersonic speeds.
Other features of the aircraft
included an all-moving vertical fin and a variable area inlet duct to
automatically control the air intake to the engine.
The North American F-107 Ultra Sabre never went
into production.

upon your website while doing an occasional search. It seems you're looking for
pics of North American F-107 RC Airplane models, along with other types. I have
finished, and flown last year, a 1/7.5 scale North American F-107 that has been
scratch built. The airplane is powered by a TJT-300 turbojet, and is currently
being "re-engined," along with receiving additional detail. Enclosed is a
picture that I happen to have on hand."
