==Question==
Is [[Trans Am]] an airline? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Eric Shalov|Eric Shalov]] ([[User talk:Eric Shalov|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Eric Shalov|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:No it is not Trans World Airlines Was An Airline, also Pan American was, Pan American was Shortened to Pan Am, so I think they mean Trans World Airlines or I believe Pan American

==In miniature==

Uh, Charles A. Lindbergh was a vocal opponent of the SST. Are you saying that a company called Lindbergh made a model?

There was/is a plastic model making company named Lindbergh. No clue if Lucky Lindy had anything to do with it, or if the name was a complete coincidence. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.35.113.120|71.35.113.120]] ([[User talk:71.35.113.120|talk]]) 06:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Error Regarding Boeing B733-390 ==

The Boeing B-733-390 was a swing-wing aircraft that was very much a narrow-body. It's swing-wing did not blend into the tail when fully swept to form a delta, though it did have a large tail-plane they by no means merged, and it's engines were mounted under the glove The plane you are talking about is the B-2707-100. It had a swing wing with the wing blending in with the tail to form a delta/arrow in flight and had it's engines mounted under the enlarged tail. The design however was also a narrowbody, it had a fuselage width of 6-abreast <i>(3-3)</i> at it's widest with most of the fuselage being 5-abreast <i>(3-2)</i>

The early B-2707-200 model was the design that had the 7-abreast <i>(2-3-2)</i> fuselage-width. Originally the B-2707-200 was the same size as the B-2707-100 (306-feet), differing in the shape of it's tailplane and wider-fuselage. As time went on, the design was lengthened by 12-feet to increase it's passenger capacity. Aeroelastic problems that developed required a canard to be added.

==outcry on environmental impact==

This section still lacks any source, and was therefore removed. I did research and could not find any material re the matter. Who ever finds something substantial is welcome to revert the deletion.

== Cruise flight ==

Can someone write in the article whether the afterburner of Boeing 2707 should be activated in cruise flight - or only activated for climb and acceleration like by [[Concorde]]?--[[User:Uwe W.|Uwe W.]] ([[User talk:Uwe W.|talk]]) 17:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

:The aircraft using either of the possible GE or P&W engine options required continuous afterburning (GE) or [[Afterburner#Plenum_chamber_burning|PCB]] (P&W "duct heating") for cruise flight. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/95.150.11.183|95.150.11.183]] ([[User talk:95.150.11.183#top|talk]]) 17:32, 30 June 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== was developed? no it wasn't. ==

The very first sentence of the article is wrong. "The Boeing 2707 was developed"...no it wasn't. It was an American failure. Never developed. [[Special:Contributions/93.219.169.162|93.219.169.162]] ([[User talk:93.219.169.162|talk]]) 18:13, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

== Concorde material on this page ==

My section in the talk page has been removed, because it was about Concorde.

Does all of the Concorde material on the substantive page deserve removing?

== Found a 2707-related video on YouTube ==

So, one of the statements says that the Boeing 2707 was intended to feature a [[glass cockpit]], but no source for that is found. I wonder if this YouTube video of a 2707 mockup<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=33z_DxD-SBw&feature=youtu.be</ref> indicates that the 2707 was indeed planned to have a glass cockpit? <references/>

== Aftermath section ==

The description of Airbus in this section can be confusing to a reader not familiar with its history.

The phrase '''when Airbus decided to end servicing arrangements''' in the current first paragraph of the ''Aftermath'' section leaves open the question as to how Airbus obtained such arrangements (the Concorde article has a similar defect). It would be better if the last paragraph of this section was moved to become the first paragraph, and modified possibly along these lines:

:The SST race had several lasting effects on the industry as a whole. The supercritical wing was originally developed as part of the SST efforts in the U.S., but is now widely used on most jet aircraft. In Europe, the cooperation that allowed Concorde led to the formation of Airbus, Boeing's foremost competitor''', with Aérospatiale becoming a main component of Airbus'''.

Also the first sentence of the ''Concorde'' section should be modified as follows:

:By mid-1962, it was becoming clear that tentative talks earlier that year between the British Aircraft Corporation and Sud Aviation '''(later Aérospatiale)''' on a merger of their SST projects were more serious than originally thought.

Revision as of 17:59, 15 January 2024

Swing wing drawing in info box

I came to this article after watching a program that describes the USA's SST program, and they described this aircraft as being a swing wing, I believe at the time it won the government contract over Lockheed. It does explain in the article that they abandoned this due to weight and range concerns, in favour of the delta wing design shown in the drawing, but it might help the article to include drawings of the earlier design along with the later one.ConfusedAndAfraid (talk) 01:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
