Hi, the Aviation Week magazine published this Boeing VTOL transport aircraft project and the Flightglobal magazine displayed it. http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1973/1973%20-%202151.html

Over many years I have gathered together brochures and artwork (cards ads etc) for the Boeing SST So far I have artwork for the following: Airlift (photo of broken model from ebay) Alitalia (drawing in brochure) Braniff (image from Internet site) Continental (photo of model in brochure-meatball...

Screen capture with rare view of YF-22NX (second, PW F-119 equipped prototype) with nose cone removed, towed from hangar after cosmetiс restoration of airframe, damaged by PIO crash in April 1992.

Sometimes projects make themselves discovered in very unlikely places. Last Friday I was in Rome at the Italian Air Force historical archives doing research for my book. On the same table there was my friend Paolo Miana looking for infos on the Italian giant bombers of late 20s -early 30s...

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This patent, for example... http://www.google.com/patents?id=T1wtAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=4828204&num=100 .... shows the Boeing Model 733-606-12 supercrusie demonstrator project from about 1977. It is a rare patent in that it is quite detailed and the...

Boeing's LWF design was rated very highly in the LWF competition. It has been suggested it came second in the evaluation to General Dynamics Model 401 (F-16), but Northrop's P-610 was given the second contract because it was twin engined and hence represented a different approach. Boeing's...

Hello! Well I've discovered that I knew rather bad the loser of the JSF contest, the Boeing X-32. This is one is well documented on the web, but drawings of the - aborted- operational variant are less known... Seems a mockup was build by Boeing and showed at Farnborough in july 2000...

I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design? Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing...

Hi, A new program for US Navy the MMA (Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft) is now fullfied by Boeing 737-800ERX.

Hi, When I got a variants to Beoing C-135, I think it was not interesting, but when I read it I find many variants were little known. C-135A cargo/troop transport aircraft for US Military Air Transport Service with J57-59W engines. EC-135A conversions of KC-135A as flying command post and...

I have seen some info on Boeing's contender for the requirement eventually met by the Convair B58. It seems to be a much more conventional design similar to the Russian TU16 with swept wing and embedded engines. Anyone got any pictures or drawings?

If someone happy to have hi-res version of these North American Rockwell PR drawings (NA-73-400, Rev 9-83), I would be very obliged for sharing them with me. Thank you.

I'm looking for information about a little-publicized US program in the mid-to-late 1980s for an intercontinental cruise missile. It was intended to have a 6000 nm range, Lockheed, Boeing, and General Dynamics were the candidate contractors, and three designs (subsonic, supersonic, and...

Hi, A new program to USAF during the 1990s was ASTT/ARD (Advanced Surveillance and Tracking Technology/Airborne Radar demonstrator) to develope new AWACS aircraft. I know one contender the Boeing-767 AWACS version.

I photographed this years ago at the Paris air Show but I never found any other reference to it (like designation, specs, 3 views....) I dimmly remember a reference to the cargo bay being kept in the design and could be used as bomb or torpedo(!!!) bay .... any info ? JCC

Hi everybody, During the 1987/1988 McDonnell-Douglas tried to make a deal with Airbus to develope MD-330 airliner,which was based on a stretch MD-11 airframe with Airbus A300 wing to compete Boeing-747,but the McDonnell later developed the design MD-12,anther series of little known airliner...

From USA, Boeing-777 (ORIGINAL DESIGN) :a three engined version of B-767-200 but no buyer killed the project. Projects to Boeing from 1970s, Boeing 7N7 was twin jet engined medium range transport airliner,Boeing 7X7 was larger project as three turbofans engines...

If someone can help with BoP 3-view, I'd be very obliged. Seems to have been in Flight International. Thanks!
