According to aviation authors <a href="/wiki/Bill_Gunston" title="Bill Gunston">Bill Gunston</a> and Peter Gilchrist, NAA's design incorporated numerous advanced technology features, such as being the first supersonic bomber to be designed with a slim forward fuselage, as well as being the first with fully-variable wedge-type side air intakes.<sup id="cite_ref-bomber_188_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bomber_188-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The company's preliminary design studies had been typically centered around a twin vertical fin/rudder arrangement, but this was substituted for a single large all-moving vertical fin as design definition proceeded.<sup id="cite_ref-Dean_p._23_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dean_p._23-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Siuru_p._16_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Siuru_p._16-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This proposal, which was referred to the <i>North American General Purpose Attack Weapon</i> (NAGPAW) concept, was promptly evaluated by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-bomber_188_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bomber_188-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The service produced numerous challenging demands, including the somewhat contradictory necessity of both a high speed of Mach 2 and the ability to take off from an aircraft carrier at maximum weight with no head-wind, also known as wind-over-the-deck, to assist the take-off. Compton's team were able to reconcile these performance requirements into the design.<sup id="cite_ref-bomber_188_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bomber_188-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following these changes, US Navy officials voiced their approval of the design and advocated for its procurement.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During July 1955, an initial design contract, which included the production of a mockup, was issued to NAA.

According to Gunston and Gilchrist, officials had viewed the aircraft through the lens of the <a href="/wiki/Korean_War" title="Korean War">Korean War</a> and placed a high value on performing low-level conventionally-armed attack missions, but had subsequently shifted towards viewing the in-development bomber as a successor to the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_A-3_Skywarrior" title="Douglas A-3 Skywarrior">Douglas A-3 Skywarrior</a> in the strategic nuclear attack role instead.

The single <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_weapon" title="Nuclear weapon">nuclear weapon</a>, commonly the <a href="/wiki/B28_nuclear_bomb" title="B28 nuclear bomb">Mk 28 bomb</a>, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet (15 m) per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It then followed a ballistic path.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In practice, the system was not reliable and no live weapons were ever carried in the linear bomb bay. In the RA-5C configuration, the bay was used solely to accommodate fuel. On three occasions, the shock of the catapult launch caused the fuel cans to eject onto the deck; this phenomenon reportedly resulted in one aircraft loss.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Early production Vigilante were outfitted with a pair of wing pylons, which were intended primarily for <a href="/wiki/Drop_tank" title="Drop tank">drop tanks</a>.

While designated by the US Navy as a "heavy" aircraft, the A-5 was surprisingly agile; without the drag of bombs or missiles, even escorting fighters found that the clean airframe and powerful engines made the Vigilante very fast at high and low altitudes.
