I just bought a pile o'stuff on ebay. Mostly it's Boeing jetliner stuff, but there's one Boeing report from '88 that stands out. I imagine from the title that the contents of the report won't add much to the cover illustrations, but even those are pretty interesting.

Indeed! NASP-D looks interesting? I wonder how that powerplant was supposed to function...


Anyway - thanks for the ongoing research.

Probably. However, "Derivative" might apply as well.

Is that an inlet on "Recon 6"?

Looks like. Looks a lot like Kingfish, in fact.

Perhaps a cross between Kingfish and something like LoFlyte?
 
The document finally arrived today. Much to my surprise, it actually has good diagrams of the various vehicles, with dimensions (but not much on performance, as the subject is on structural testing). A rare win.

As it turns out, it's "NASP - Demonstrator."

The high speed transport is meant for Mach 4.5 cruise.

The Recon-6 is a Mach 6 hydrogen fueled vehicle with no resemblance to Kingfish. But it *does* resemble the Boeing 1074-006 hypersonic interceptor:

The resemblance is not surprising... "Recon-6" is Model 1074-0019C.

Does it come with an antimatter fueled transwarp drive too? :-\
 
I bet they have to wind that elastic band real tight.

Only slightly. Ahem... What were those people really working on? Bit by bit, it starts to appear.
 
Hi!
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/boeing-nasa-unclassified-hypersonic-1791224655

"Really cool book, not sure if it has a missing cover or not. Pages are complete.My grandfather was a Boeing stress and fatigue engineer for over 40 years. He collected a mass of blue prints, classified and un-classified documents, booklets, manuals, magazines and newspapers. Some of these things are from projects he worked on. Original designs, equations ect. He worked on NASA projects, to the B2 bomber, and the 777. He designed landing gear on planes like the 767. He worked on many military projects and top secret. Some of these items are unique and maybe quite impossible to find. Very cool stuff. It is amazing the amount of information that is passing away with his generation.UNLESS OTHER WISE MARKED I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE WINS.PLEASE CHECK OUT ALL MY OTHER LISTINGSGOOD LUCK BIDDING!"
