This is perhaps one of of the highest viewed secret projects / designs thread on the web --- even without being a sticky however not many registered members visit this thread... which is a pity ... I wouldve gone into Aerospace engineering if my first love wasnt being a docter...

This table lists the V/STOL and STOVL projects of the Kingston-upon-Thames based design organisation of Hawker Aircraft, Hawker Siddeley Aviation and British Aerospace from 1957 to 1988. Excluded are projected variants of the P.1127 or P.1174 (single-seat and two-seat Harrier).
Kingston Projects

Hawker Siddeley Dynamics designed an unmanned interceptor in the early 1970s. The small canard delta wing aircraft was powered by a Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan, equipped with an air intercept radar, and armed with a single Sky Flash AAM and two AIM-9C or SRAAM AAMs. The drone would be launched under command guidance and be controlled by a pilot on the ground via a TV camera and a two-way data link.

P.1224
The concept was revived in the 1980s as the Unmanned Fighter Aircraft (UFA). The idea was to intercept the first wave of enemy aircraft, preserving manned NATO fighters for later on in the battle. Various configurations were studied in 1983-1987, the aircraft being powered by one Rolls-Royce Viper, Adour or Spey or General Electric J85 engine and armed with two AMRAAM and two ASRAAM missiles. The drone was ramp-launched from an articulated truck containing also the guidance system with tail-sitting recovery.

P.1239-5
One variant of the P.1239 "Versatile SABA" studies in 1987 was an Unmanned Fighter Aircraft armed with two S225X AAMs in internal bays.

P.1243
One variant of the P.1224 studies was re-numbered as the P.1243 in 1988. The aircraft was a tailless delta powered by one Williams turbofan engine. It may have included some LO features.
