Hi! Boeing 2707-200 drawings and 2707-100 models.

Hi! Other images including off topic.
SST's shape is modern art!

I remember that this topic was started by boxkite. What happened? ???

[blackkite]

Hi! Larger image.

 

[blackkite]

Hi! Next larger image.
You can see the difference between GE4 engine nacelle(long size) and JTF17 engine nacelle(short size).
Someone please show us such a detailed large image of Boeing B2707-300 SST.
The bottom drawing shows ground static position of B2707-300. Nose down and wing leading edge flap down.

 

[blackkite]

Next large image.

[blackkite]

Hi! Douglas SST. Is this 2229 SST? But fore and main wing tip were not pointed.

 

[blackkite]

Hi! Douglas type 2229 SST.
Attached PDF file was already posted by Star!

 

[blackkite]

Hi! This was a Douglas SST conceptual study in 1963 including type 2229 like concept.
And other SST pictures.

Hi! Next one. You can see forward view from the cockpit.

[blackkite]

North American Aviation SST in 1961. Which is correct? Wing tip hold down or not?
NAA's this concept was very similar to early Republic's concept which boxkite taught us.
Republic's concept had a double delta wing.
Northrop LFC wing SST concept had a same shape.
And Republic's another plan.

Hi! Convair SST.

 

[circle-5]

I don't think that last image was SST material.

 

[blackkite]

Oh military aircraft! Thanks.

 

[Orionblamblam]

I don't think that last image was SST material.

Actually, it was. I have the Convair diagrams of the thing around here, somewhere. That's the first time I've seen that done up in USAF duds... the same painting is usually shown sans military logos.

 

[blackkite]

Hmmm....
This Republic SST also had the military painting?

 

[Orionblamblam]

That one has been floating around for a while, and so far as I'm aware nothing more has come out on it. It might have been an actual Republic design... and it might have been just an artistic doodle. It looks both reasonable and quite generic.

Back in the day it was quite common for art like this to get military and civilian logos swapped on and off. See: http://up-ship.com/blog/?p=2585

I imagine it would be even easier today, just swap texture maps on your CAD model. But with todays CG art, it's just as easy to produce whole new views with the different "repaint" where just a few decades ago it wasn't cost effective to do more than just tinker with a fixed image.

 

[blackkite]

Thanks a lot. We hope the book which include comprehensive information for early American SST project.
I think that only you can do it. (How about one book for each company? Boeing, Lockheed, Douglas, Convair, Republic, Northrop, GE, P&W and Curtiss Wright......., time table, chart, each plane or engine's drawing and spec, etc)

 

[Orionblamblam]

For the Buy It Now price of $500. Waaaay too rich for my blood. But a number of people pooled and it became affordable.

[sferrin]

I'd be willing to kick $125 into the kitty if I could get the actual drawing after everything was scanned in.

 

[Orionblamblam]

So long as I have the scans, I'm happy. I'd like to be the guy who does the scanning, cuz I want to make sure it gets done right and well, and I know I can. But if others want the actual bits, that's fine. Just so's there's agreement on who gets what.

 

[hesham]

My dear Scott,


I think I have a PDF file,looks like that group,even with colors,but where in my documents ?.

 

[Orionblamblam]

The 2707 stuff showed up in the mail today. Woo!

I've been reading this thread with considerable interest. I first read about the SST program well after it was over, and consider not building this a considerable loss. Simply, I was reading about this in high school in '76, after reading the somewhat poorly written novel about a maiden US SST flight called Flight One, by Charles Carpentier. Also, I ended up with a copy of The SST: Here It Comes, Ready or Not, at a local library book sale.

At this time, I'm trying to pull together the things needed to build at least one of these planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, especially interested in the Lockheed SST design. One of the most important things would be clearly readable images of the cockpit, so I can read better what is supposed to go where. In any case, this thread has been more than useful, but I couldn't access some of the items linked to. Put simply, any of the ones with a .mil address denied me access, and some of the NASA items also went away.

In creating a definitive source on this, I'd also find a way to obtain the videos as well, several of those were also gone. There's also the usual link rot setting in.

While I have the Don Dwiggins book on my mind, among the other images was one of a Convair HST. Anyone have any clues on this one? My copy of the book is still in storage, so I'd have to try to scan it later.

Good Day All -

On EPay, nice looking model of the Boeing 207 in BOAC colors.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Philippine model, produced and sold in quantity by the same seller for the past 6-7 years. He makes a good-looking Air Force One variant. Of course, none of these models have any historical significance.

Hi All -

Nice model:

Hi!
You can see P&W JTF17 and General Electric GE4 engine mockup in the second picture.

The article from Air Progress discusses the possibility of developing a bomber version from the B-2707. The conclussion that is not a good idea because the SST design don't work well in the bomber role.
Thus, if I'm right, the cover art is purely ornamental.

Hmmm...You are absolutely right. Anyway the range of B2707-200 was only 2000n.m. ;D
