Boeing CCV-100-2 Bomber study

[RAP]

An unknown from my files. There is something familiar about the first one but I have not been able to find anything about it. Maybe its fan art.

1st one is a Boeing CCV bomber concept. Scott provided a nicer color rendering on the APR blog in the recent past.

The Boeing "CCV 100-2" concept, though apart from artists renderings, a display model and some design patent drawings, data on this has remained elusive.

Does anyone know of a sensible definition of "control-configured"? Aren't all aircraft that don't pivot and dig a crater immediately after takeoff control-configured? Perhaps this is 70s aviation's counterpart to that other innovation of the decade - the Sports Bar. Before the development of the Sports Bar, most beers were consumed while watching sitcoms but the Sports Bar has now put most Sitcom Bars out of business.

Control configured vehicle means that inherent stability / controllability factors aren't designed into the aircraft configuration but it will instead rely on control surfaces to artificially maintain stability, via fly-by-wire controls / stability augmentation devices. Relaxed static stability is listed as a type of CCV, along with active feedback control of flutter, direct lift etc.
