Thanks!

I have volumes on the US SST program, the bound submissions to congress and FAA with data from both Lockheed and Boeing, most all NASA, Langley data, and other documents as well as a number of original blueprints and line drawings, only these models perplex me as I know the one style was PacMin. but I have no idea of the other earlier one. I probably need to post these on a diecast forum or something.

Here are a few more of the bulged and the lower strakes...
:p !!! This look like an early -300 config. !

Hi!
 
I believe this is the shape which could cruise mach 2.7.

Boeing tinkered with the design of the SST, but even with the 2707-300, they tinkered with the wing design.
I think that the need for landing gear fairings means that the thickness of the wing has been reduced.
The purpose of reducing the thickness of the wing is either to reduce drag or to reduce weight.
I imagine that it was difficult to satisfy either the range or speed requirements with the original design.

In my personal opinion, I think that if the Lockheed proposal would've been picked, we probably would've gotten our SST. Sure the design was similar to the Concorde but Lockheed had experience in building jets and fast ones at that and it still would've surpassed the Concorde.

Also I do have a question regarding the L-2000. Does anyone have any estimates or specs regarding its internal fuel capacity? The L-2000-7 to be specific as that was the final design that would've gone into production if picked if I recall correctly.
