Civil aircraft designs are boring?...Think different

[pometablava]

Extreme commercial designs: people won't to fly on it, but they exist on the drawing board. Let's show it!
(Collani designs are very wellcome...and would be great to learn how it is supposed they can fly. Any engineer wants to give help?

To start the topic, I add the following:


From Spanish science magazine Conocer (1992 I think). It could be a translation from French Magazine Science et vie

1. Airbus flying wing from 1987. This design was compared against the A310 but it seems that no advantages were found because all Airbus airliners share the same configuration. Personally, I find this design extremely beautiful.
A couple of Lockheed spanloader cargo designs on the background.

2. Lockheed spanloader design

3. Airbus early 380 configuration.

From Aviation Magazine International Nº 575 December 1971

4. Boeing Spanloader

Boring ? Not at all !

Why to spend money in a development from zero if military designs can adapt?
 
Here they are:
 
Civil version of the c-99 ( B-36 based)
 
Proposals for a SST based on the North American XB-70 Valkyrie (I cannot avoid to imagine to the boys of Green Peace in a MIG-31 with the colors of the rainbow trying him to give hunt to one of these apparatuses) 
 
Derived of V bombers:
 
HP.97 derived of the HP Víctor (it exists another version of simple cover of this design)
 
Avro Atlantic (they observe the disposition of the seats looking toward stern to the military style)

A very interesting image Overscan! Really captivating Aeroflot's SST'S combination  of a background to the style of the publicities of the decade of 1930 of the clippers of PanAm. Are not this way communism that tolerated! 

Continuing here with the topic oar other images of:

A design of a mach 3 SST that swallows their own shock wave (Design original
of Flight Safe Instrument Corp. patent acquired by Boeing) (source: Popular Mechanical edition Argentinean October of 1994)

Does need to move a town in a single trip? Design of a superekranoplane of A. N. Panchenkov: 4000 tons, twelve reactors ,124 meters
long and 50,5 of wide. Speed of cruise of 300 mph. (source: Popular Mechanical edition Argentinean September of 1992)

I begin to believe that Lockheed has an agreement with the makers of doors of hangars. 

'80s proposal for a cargo carrier propelled to hydrogen.

Supersonic transport is nice, but any *real* man knows the only way to get there is exoatmospherically. Rockwell designed a monster to do just that.

[pometablava]

In the 90's exoatmosferic hypersonic airliners seemed near to enter production. 15 years before nobody talks about it. All that technology has been vanished after the NASP demonstrator program was cancelled?
