Maybe not mockups in the truest sense of the wood but there was an effort during the war to fool opposing air forces with dummy planes and airfields. Some were very elaborate. Most pics from this site...

The future of army aviation?
By Craig Hoyle on 19 October, 2013 in Defense With an 'S'
Bell has released this image of a full-scale mock-up of its V-280 Valor tiltrotor, which will be on display at the AUSA show in Washington DC next week. We can expect the company to say a bit more about its offering there, although it has already confirmed that GE Aviation is to supply the proposed transport's engines.

Bell and its partner Lockheed Martin reckon something like the Valor could be in with a shout of succeeding the US Army's versatile Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. They'll be flying a demonstrator in 2017 as part of the service's Joint Multi-Role process, along with rivals AVX, Boeing/Sikorsky and Karem; an activity which is sure to not disappoint on the cool scale.

No info on it.


This was a Rockwell design for an FSW light fighter to replace the F-5. I remember it was covered in a Flight article entitled "Forward Sweep - Rockwell's New Broom" sometime around 1979.

Also the BAe P.110 and P.103 in Johns earlier posts are transposed, the P.103 was the STOVL fighter with prodded tilting engines

Something similar was successfully done during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. MiG-29 mockups were made and placed around Batajnica airfield. Out of 7 mockups made during 78 days war six were destroyed by NATO bombs and one remains to this day (bottom picture). It is generally believed here that this helped to save five our MiG-29s which survived the war.

What the........?
The Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster was an experimental bomber aircraft, designed for a high top speed. The unconventional approach was to mount the two engines within the fuselage driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers mounted at the tail, leaving the wing and fuselage clean and free of drag-inducing protrusions.

Two prototype aircraft were built, but the end of World War II changed priorities and the advent of the jet engine gave an alternative way toward achieving high speed.
 
man looks like someone was trying hard! cool pics thanks for the post.
