NASA Advanced Transport Technology (ATT) or Mach 1 Airliner program

[Sundog]

By comparison, the Cessna Citation X is also area ruled, which helps to make it the fastest biz jet around. Though I have heard the new Gulfstream may be faster.

Model in a better shape... Boeing 767-701

Thank you for sharing, Skybolt. I hope that you are feeling much better.

Wow. The GD/Convair stuff you have salvaged from oblivion/destruction is beautiful... and to know that this may only be the tip of the iceberg yet is quite a promising perspective! Thanks again codeone for all the efforts.

I found a strange drawing to NASA ATT concept (far right).

Unless I'm mistaken, a Mach 1.2 design would no longer quite fit the ATT specifications, right? I believe this design is not ATT-related, and that the diagram only shows how the near-Mach 1 ATT would fit between a conventional airliner and a supersonic one.

My dear Stargazer,


but the same wing,and may term Mach 1 Airliner meant also the 1.2 M,only my speculation.

From AviationWeek, October 1974 a photo of a model of the GD design:
(sorry for the distortion, it was scanned from a bound volume)

I recently came into possession of the model of the Convair Aerospace ATT tri-jet shown in the vintage pictures in the second post of this thread. This model was built in the GD model shop in Fort Worth circa 1970-71, by one of the two men that hired me to work there in 1986. The model was given to me by the estate of a good friend who was a well known test pilot at GD.

Not in bad shape. Just a little light crazing in the paint. The "mod" style of the ATT logo is .......interesting.

The area ruling really stands out with the model. Thanks for the pics!

Seems to be an area ruled fuselage, but never seen that high wing configuration before.

I've seen that one before. My *vague* memory on it says that the caption on it at the time said it was a design for an nuclear-powered airliner. memory could be wrong, caption could have been wrong. But it is durned goofy lookin'.

Thks, never had seen that one before. Indeed looks like a python who swallowed two elephants...
See on the same link there is a hypersonic in CPAir livery too.

I suspect it may have come from Douglas Ingles book in 1973? He mentions a nuclear powered transport which looks very similar to the CP air proposal.

Welcome aboard N1011N,

and that's new for me,the 600-passenger,thanks.
