Just received from the Smithsonian... apparently it was designed for the 1963 FAA official National SST competition but never submitted (probably for too high level of investment required from companies side). It follows very strictly the initial specs of the competition: Mach 3.0 cruise, 150 passengers, 4000 miles max range. Derivation from the Republic TFX and D-24 Alliance configuration is apparent. And naturally, is a "never seen before by humans", to you by courtesy of Skybolt
