Re: Boeing Planes That Never Flew - News Report
Cargolux was also interested in the aircraft, the artist's impression coming from a 1975 Cargolux Annual Report. Husky International was not the name of the concept, but the customer of the Boeing aircraft who intended to transport vehicles by air using the 754. The KING 5 reporters are confused.
Stargazer2006 said:Triton said:Would Boeing have sold the plane as the 754? Or would the Boeing Marketing Department give the plane another designation? Like Boeing 777?
Given the odd configuration, uncertain marketing success and coherence of the 7*7 line (not to mention that I'm not even sure any airline would have bought that!) I'd venture to consider they might have kept the "754" after all, or most probably, found a name for it. There was a similar project at Boeing called the Husky, if memory serves.
