Boeing SST Supersonic Clipper, Revell H-263 (2006)
Revell maquette à l'échelle 1:200, H-263 est un reboîtage sorti en 2006 | Contenu, Aperçus, Avis, Historique + Place de marché | Boeing SSTwww.scalemates.com
Glad to have another variant being re released, I hope they'll do other liveries than just the boeing one.
PS: Sorry I've been absent for so long.
I remember having this kit with the United markings when I was in high school. There are times I wish I'd saved it and the Braniff Concorde by MPC (rebadged Airfix kit) that I found in what was called a department store on the Yorktown waterfront about the same time.Pan am SST postcard here with a livery slightly different than the revel one http://www.everythingpanam.com/Postcards.html

FYI... Atlantis Models looks like they are going to re-release the 1/400 scale model:

A lot has been said about this and the family apparently continue the tradition of demanding payment for use of those representations and facsimile's which basically does my mind a mischief.Glad to have another variant being re released, I hope they'll do other liveries than just the boeing one.

As with the forthcoming Moebius 1/72 and 1/350 Orion III Space Clippers from "2001" which will come *without* Pan Am decals, often it's the decals that are the hardest thing to get nailed down, legally. Recall the story of the Pegasus 1/18 Bell X-1 that they had to go through all the decal sheets and scissor-out the "Glamorous Glennis" because Mrs. Yeager raised a legal stink over copyright.
Doubtless small decal companies, one guy with an ALPS printer, will meet the demand. Me, I'd probably build the SST in NASA or USAF colors.
The easy answer would be to look at the range vs. payload for each aircraft, and subtract roughly 25,000 pounds from max payload. Some of these designs were payload limited on some flights. For example, look through this thread, and you'll find that North American figured that United would not be able to fly a full passenger load on the Chicago to Honolulu flight. That would be because full fuel load would be necessary and there's a trade off between fuel and payload at that point.So I have a question, assuming the 2700 (or even really the l-2000) had been biult and flown, how much more range would be added if the passenger count was reduced to 150 instead of 300?
Unfortunately I can't really find a convenient range vs pay load graph for the 2700 let alone the l-2000, so this isn't really helping. Has anyone upload a chart about this?The easy answer would be to look at the range vs. payload for each aircraft, and subtract roughly 25,000 pounds from max payload.

Appreciate this very much thanksThis is from Aviation Week in 1968, if I haven't posted it before, never mind if I have...

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.

PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMERCIAL SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT. VOLUME A-5. AERODYNAMIC REPORT - LOCKHEED-CALIFORNIA CO BURBANK - 15 JAN 1964
Part of the original Phase I proposal. Photo reproductions are abysmal, but line drawings are good. Some of the photos later published in Horizons magazine.
Enjoy http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/AD377973 Beware, big file.
This article has what you need.New member here...
I've been reading through this series of posts, as I'm working on a presentation on the history of supersonic transports, to be made to the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society.
I'm looking for images of the Boeing SST (or Concorde) as they would have appeared in Air Canada colours. Air Canada promotional material would be ideal, if there ever was such a thing.
If anyone has anything along these lines, and could share it here, that would be marvellous.

Well done. Thank you.My contribution, as usual....View attachment 686356
This is the SCAT-15F: The ultimate SST, and best looking, IMO.Rare 1960's NASA Aerodynamics SST Model
We recently acquired a rare 1960's aerodynamic test model for a NASA SST (Super Sonic Transport) vehicle from Langley Research Center. This model is rather large and is built of wood and composite materials. One rear fin has the NASA logo -- finish and condition is original. The piece measures 51" L and has a max width of 24". Everything is in tact with the minor exception of one rear fin. Wear has some dings and chip paint in areas. These Langley Aerodynamic models are very rare and as you can imagine and these were used in what is called the free-flight technique where they are tethered and float in the wind tunnel for study. A variety of designs were tested and this is one in the spectrum of craft. Reference the video for a demonstration of this type of craft in free flight testing. These video segments are courtesy of NASA Langley Research Center.
