Nice document from Boeing's here:

There is surprisingly few on the -300 technically-side. Also of interest is the neat 3-views detailing the "public" evolution (no hint to the 1968 studies that led to the delta configuration), where you can find the rarely seen early-VG 2707 canard configuration.

Hey Skybolt, do you still have this document?
It seems the link is out of order. :/

Find it here :
One of the SST designs in the third and fourth file illustrations is the Douglas 2229, judging from the Douglas logo on the vertical stabilizer. The Convair 58-9 is the SST with four podded engines pictured in the second file illustration because it had four jets arranged in individual pods.From "Mecanica Popular" January 1960 & September 1963

Sorry
Btw, something funny about the possible connection of D.B. Cooper with the Boeing SST program :
Does that evidence truly tie D.B. Cooper to Boeing? Plot thickens
D.B. Cooper is the story that keeps on giving. A few days ago, the big headlines were about Cooper’s possibly having worked for Boeing. Never mind! The finger now points at Tektronix, of Beaverton, Ore., as his employer.www.seattletimes.com

Geez, the seattle times don't like add blockers ? well, AFAIK they can go screw themselves, morons, idiots. This is really exasperating, I wish them bankruptcy. They are add-bonkers, really. It is no surprise the paper press is dying these dqys, if the only survival strategy they have is to prostitute themselves to advertising, to get money.
• But for use in the SST, the Oregon company would have had to encase the tubes in titanium, and likely used pure titanium.

Why would *anyone* use pure titanium? Conventional titanium alloys (6AL 4V) are not only stronger, they are less prone to bursting into magnesium-like fires.
Posted that photo of the original L-2000 press kit some years ago. My page at blogspot corrupted and my images were all lost. Have not re-uploaded as I’ve retired and moved away from drawing airplanes, etc.Thank you for the wonderful photograph which can feel the future.
Please enjoy next pictures.
I have never seen precise line drawings for L-2000-7A/7B final design especially front view. If someone find it, I believe it will be a big and historic discovery. Lockheed/FAA still have it or burned it all same as Fugaku? ;D
