Finally have green light to show something :

This is a small extract of a short film done for the forthcoming release of the book Titanium Icarus ,
By Tom Harris, JP Santiago (@Sentinel Chicken here ), and yours truly for the illustrations and 3d animations for this small film.
Please note these extracts does not represent the final footage (in particular the takeoff scene), as the film is still been worked on, cutting, soundtrack, ect are in the work. But I’ve mostly finished my part for it (ouf)…
Book will be released by La Jétée Press . This B2707-300 is just one of the models done for it, lots, lots of images done… still doing some right now. Shameless promotion, if this is not the place, sorry, remove or move elsewhere .
Hope you like it.

Impressive! Like the movie film "artifacts" spooling thru on your clip.

Thanks for sharing! Mark

So... what is the book? Fiction, non-fiction, what?

Strange title the book has:

TITANIUM ICARUS: The Hope and Hubris of the North American Supersonic Transport Program​

Makes me think that the book will be about the North American SST, the NAC-60. *Not* the Boeing 2707 SST. Will the book provide coverage of Canadian or Mexican SST designs?

Can't say... But you'll sure have an Aeromexico 2707-300 image in there.

 

[taildragger]

Great that someone finally got around to documenting the American SST program while some of the participants are still around. Definitely on my buy list.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

It should really be "US Supersonic Transport Program" for sure.

K, will report that observation to the authors. Thanks for comments.

Yes. Jaw-dropping stuff indeed. What might have been...

FSX Boeing 2707 SST Updated

The Boeing 2707 was intended to be the first American supersonic airliner, but increasing outcry over the environmental effects, notably the sonic boom, led to its cancelation in 1971 before the two prototypes had been completed. The package features FSX compatible gauges for the 2D panel, a new...

This is the book I have waited for for years.
With Concorde we have details of the liveries for the optionholders. 26 airlines had options on the Boeing SST

All done. I've done a BA Negus scheme view, as I thought with the -300 entering service, say after 1974, then it would be BA. But the BOAC scheme is so nice I'll add a BOAC/BA mixed scheme like so :

Galgot My other favourite Boeing SST version is the Aer Lingus one. They had options on two and there used to be a reference somewhere online to the positions on the delivery schedule. TWA pipped Pan Am for the first one. Alitalia I think were the first European airline delivery (BOAC and Air France were Concorde users and Lufthansa not so enthusiastic).
I attach pics of models I had made for me of the Aer Lingus version and the 70s Aer Lingus scheme

 

[galgot]

Yes , done a -300 Aer Lingus with that livery. Not a -200.
Alitalia , I have the -200 in the old livery (thin blue stripes), and the -300 in the 70's one (thick Green stripes).
Anyway, many liveries... My images count is now over 130.

Sneak peek of my own artwork contribution to the project. This one is based of the 1964 design iteration. It was a much smaller and less complex aircraft than what the Boeing 2707 ultimately became.

My friends at Builderscience in the Philippines have done me models repainted from the house colours one in their range

 

[uk 75]

A couple of military ones

 

[uk 75]

The original Pacific Miniatures model Boeing 2707 300 in the Lufthansa collection (British Airways Museum only has the two 100 model set visible behind)
My two from Builderscience got the Lufthansa schemes right. The Pacmin has the early lettering with the late 60s scheme.

 

[uk 75]

Nearly 20 years ago a chap in Luxembourg did me some Boeing SST airline side views.
I do not have the original JPEGs as they are still his copyright.
Here are the three US donestic optionholders

Another one of my prints to come- Pan American World Airways "SST Clipper Stratosphere", N733PA. La Jétée Press will be more than just books but an integrated ecosystem of high quality products that not just tie into our books.

 

[uk 75]

Sentinel Chicken Discovering your artwork online at Diecast Aircraft Collectors Forum was one of the reasons I got back into the US SST programme

https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/flights-of-fantasy-the-lockheed-l-2000-sst-in-airline-service.313/post-1854

I then found a chap called Richard Seely in the States who made a BOAC version of the 100 series for me.

The toy that first got me interested in the Boeing SST was this battery operated version by the Japanese company Daiya. I found it in the window of a long gone shop near the Grand Place in Brussels in 1987.
It is in the beautiful Lufthansa early 60s scheme.

 

[uk 75]

Probably the most iconic Boeing SST livery was that of Pan American. The original Pan Am advert has bee joined by a modern re imagining. Daiya made a battery toy. But the Revell kit is the best known. My wooden one. Revell and Daiya got the wrong airline. TWA was number one in the queue.

 

[uk 75]

The rarest Boeing SST models in my collection are a 1/400 scale Boeing 2707-300 in Boeing House and Pan Am livery made by a chap called J R Lacenda. They are incredibly delicate

 

[Sentinel Chicken]

My own work, the Convair 58-9 in Delta's short lived "Jetliner" livery that was used on their first Douglas DC-8. While our book will be focusing on the Boeing 2707, space will be given to other competing American SST designs.

I know about that but its not nearly the level of quality this 3d model is. MSFS can support models of >3mil polys without a real framerate hit so its possible something like this could be imported into the game. Even as a static model sitting at JFK it'd be really cool.

I always preferred the look of the earlier 733s over the 2707, its just so clean and smooth. Too bad it had tail issues.

 

[blackkite]

Amazing movie!! Thanks a lot galgot-san.
I am convinced that there were no problems with the feasibility of the L-2000.

A lovely glimpse at what might have been.

Wow. Still trying to find my lower jaw, fallen somewhere below my desk, Wile E. Coyote / The Mask / Tex Avery style.

Help! I want this book so badly. Love the 1976 themed tail and the TWA style alt.

Dear talented CGI artist, may I suggest shortening your video to 4:32 minutes (perhaps by removing the Wright Flyer sequence in the middle and cutting the credits a little) and put that wonderful song as background ?

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGkGNCUQtWY


I've downloaded the video and made my own cut of it but, to respect the authors, I will never, ever post it online.

Just to say that Steppenwolf masterpiece of song fits the video like a glove, including the very year it was made - 1969.

 

[uk 75]

The last two of my 9inch replicas of original Pacmin models of the Boeing 2707-100 have been completed in the Philippines.

 

[uk 75]

Any news of this project?. I am a devoted fan.
