The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was a parasite fighter developed by the United States during the 1950's. Parasite fighters have all but disappeared today due to the difficulty in deploying them. They were designed to piggy-back on the mothership (usually a bomber). It was to unhook and defend the mothership if it were to be attacked and hook back up using a trapeze mechanism. It was surely a strange if not cute little airplane.
