	Boeing 2707 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 2707 was developed as the first American supersonic transport (SST).
		Boeing's entry was essentially identical to the swing-wing Model 733 studied in 1960; it was known officially as the Model 733-197, but also referred to both as the 1966 Model and the Model 2707.
		Boeing predicted that if the go-ahead were given, construction of the SST prototypes would begin in early 1967 and the first flight could be made in early 1970.

	Boeing 2707
		The Boeing 2707 was to be the first American supersonic airliner.
		Boeing and Lockheed officially responded, and Republic[?] did some design work of their own on the concept.
		The first Boeing SST design, known as the Boeing 733, had a configuration with a swing-wing[?] and four General Electric engines mounted underneath the wing roots - similar to the B-1 Lancer except that the four engines were mounted in four individual nacelles.

		Piasecki Helicopter was acquired by Boeing in 1960, and was reorganized as Boeing's Vertol division.
		Boeing introduced a new corporate identity with completion of the merger, incorporating the Boeing logotype and a stylized version of the McDonnell Douglas symbol, which was derived from the Douglas Aircraft logo from the 1950s.
		Boeing is now focused on the newly-launched 787 as a platform of total fleet rejuvenation, which has benefited from strong sales success at the expense of Airbus' competing offerings.

		Boeing had quietly worked on a concept for an SST aircraft since 1952, as part of the project work which goes with corporate forward-thinking.
		The work of another Boeing team on a design for a TFX tactical fighter with variable sweep wings (later to be shelved in favour of the the General Dynamics F-111) drew their attention to the benefits of a variable geometry.
		Boeing used a double-hinge, with the section forward of the cockpit angling down but the nose cone maintaining a similar axis to that of the fuselage.

	Boeing 7J7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 7J7 was a short- to medium-range airliner proposed by Boeing in the 1980s, but never built.
		It would have carried 150 passengers and was touted as the successor to the successful Boeing 727.
		Boeing cancelled the 7J7 in 1987 and instead concentrated its resources on further developments of the Boeing 737 and the Boeing 757.

	Boeing 2707 - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		It would have been built at the Boeing plant in Seattle, Washington, but increasing outcry over the environmental effects of the aircraft, notably sonic boom, led to its cancellation in 1971 before the two prototypes had been completed.
		Boeing predicted that if the go-ahead was given, construction of the prototypes would begin in early 1967 and the first flight could be made in early 1970.
		The Boeing team fell back to a tailed delta wing, somewhat in irony given that Lockheed had been rejected because of a fixed wing.

	Boeing 221 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 221 Monomail was the passenger version of the Model 200 Monomail mailplane.
		The aircraft marked a departure from the traditional biplane configuration for a transport aircraft, instead featuring a single, low set, all metal cantilevered wing.
		By the time variable pitch propellers andf more powerful engines were available, the design had been surpassed by multi engined aircraft, including Boeing's own 247.

	Boeing in Decline - the 1970s to 2003
		Boeing needed to add a medium capacity long range and a medium capacity short range plane to replace, respectively, the 707 and the 727 that had previously filled these market segments.
		Boeing decided to design two new planes at the same time - the 767 and the 757, and to give them similar cockpit layouts so as to make it easy for pilots to convert from flying one type of plane to the other.
		Boeing won the competition, with a proposal for a swing-wing plane that would carry 300 passengers for 4400 miles at 1800 mph, what it called the Boeing 2707.

	Boeing Frontiers Online
		In late 1959, Boeing was given the go-ahead to develop a manned reusable space plane, called Dyna-Soar (Dynamic Soaring).
		In late 1966, the FAA selected Boeing to be the prime contractor for the first U.S. After initially considering, then shifting away from, a variable-sweep wing design, a full-scale engineering mockup of the (50-degree-sweep) fixed-delta-wing Model 2707-300 was unveiled in June 1970.
		Throughout Boeing, 4,800 people were working on the program, and by June 1970, orders for 122 SSTs from 26 airlines had been secured.

	The Rise & Fall Of The SST
		Boeing was awarded a contract for two prototypes on 1 May 1967.
		The 2707 was to be a large aircraft, about 90 meters (300 feet) long, with a maximum load of 350 passengers.
		At first, the 2707 was envisioned as fitted with variable geometry "swing wings" to permit efficient high-speed flight -- with the wings swept back -- and good low-speed handling -- with the wings extended.

	Boeing 247 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 247 was one of the first modern passenger airliners.
		The wing's main spar went right through the cabin, so some passengers had to step over a large hump in the middle of the aisle to reach their seats.
		On October 10, 1933, a United Airlines Boeing 247 was the victim of the first proven case of sabotage of a commercial airliner.

		Boeing had been working on a number of small-scale studies on SST (SuperSonicTransport) designs since 1952, but set up a permanent research committee in 1958 which slowly grew to a $1 million effort by 1960.
		Most of their designs were built on the basis of a large delta wing, but in 1959 another design was offered as an offshoot of Boeing's efforts in the swing-wing TXF project (which led to the purchase of the General Dynamics F-111 instead of the Boeing offering).
		Request for Proposals were sent out to three airframe and three engine manufacturers - Boeing, Lockheed, and North American for the airframes, and Curtiss-Wright, General Electric and Pratt and Whitney for engines.

	Boeing 2707 SST Problems
		One of the more objectionable of the problems facing any supersonic transport is commonly referred to as the "sonic boom." To explain sonic boom, one must return to a description of the shock-wave formation about an airplane flying supersonically.
		Boeing and the FAA estimated that even if the SST was restricted to overwater flights, it could still sell 500 airplanes.
		Boeing won, with a proposal that called for engines from General Electric.

	The Rise & Fall Of The SST
		Lockheed proposed the "L-2000", which was a double-delta machine with a capacity of 220 passengers, but the winner was Boeing's "Model 2707", the name obviously implying a Mach 2 aircraft that would be as significant as the Boeing 707, with Boeing awarded a contract for two prototypes on 1 May 1967.
		Although some of the controversy that had dogged the American SST effort had crossed the ocean, the worst problem was that the 1970s were characterized by rising fuel prices that rendered the thirsty SST uneconomical to operate.
		The announcement was a bit muddled because it confused an attempt to develop a hypersonic spaceplane, which emerged as the dead-end "National Aerospace Plane (NASP)", with NASA studies for an improved SST.

		It was Boeing and Lockheed, along with engine makers General Electric and Pratt Whitney were named the initial winners in the SST contest.
		The Boeing SST was one of the first swing wing designs to change to a fixed wing.
		As one Boeing engineer puts it, "We would much rather tackle the structural and mechanical problems of building a variable sweep airplane than try to each 2,000 or 3,000 pilots how to land a machine having the characteristics, say of the F-102, blown up to 400,000 or 500,000 lb gross weight".

	Boeing 2707 SST
		The Boeing 2707 SST was to be the first American supersonic airliner.
		Whereas the Concorde and TU-144 cruised at M = 2.2 to 2.4, and the Boeing design cruised at M = 2.7, hence 2707.
		Due to its late start, it was evident that the 2707 could not beat either the British or the Russian SST into service and lost both public and government support.

	Question - Boeing 2707 sst 3 view - RC Groups
		The 3 view provided is of the Lockheed L-2000 SST design which lost out to the Boeing 2707.
		Regardless of all that, this time I think it was money primarily and the airlines' lack of interest in it especially seeing as the Concord had been phased-out with no replacement.
		IIRC, when Washington cancelled the SST Program, Boeing and GE basically had to eat all the investment they had made in it thus far.
