From Boeing magazine 1953, here is a strange helicopter with Mr. Herbert Munter

I don’t think anyone was too aware of this until news that Boeing was eliminated from the competition,(https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-eliminated-us-air-forces-doomsday-plane-competition-2023-12-01/) so who will make this next “doomsday” plane? Northrop Grumman building...

From Boeing magazine 1961, can anyone ID this beast ?,may the number 733 was for its model,because we know that designation had been used for different concepts !.

How is this possible? The Department of Defense is always asking for more money. I think I'd fall over dead if I ever heard a DoD official say, "We're asking for less money this year." https://apnews.com/article/earnings-ad492e449fe65c0ca1844612726abbfc

Hi all, I have a short presentation from 2004 about Boeing's MA-31 target drone program. These were Kh-31 missile bodies bought from Russia and modified to replace the Navy's MQM-8 Vandal supersonic targets. Attached below is the PDF file.

I'd love to hear everyones thoughts on the topic; if Skybolt enters service, what differences if any does it make? For SAC and USAF, it gives them an airborne deterrence rivaled only by the equally impressive Polaris program. But Vietnam still occurs, and conventional capabilities are still a...

This really should have its own thread, so I have started one. View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363224581988354 View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363380765290499 View: https://twitter.com/wapodavenport/status/1365363475560726536 View...

The famous B-52 Stratofortress has been in service with the USAF for more than 65 years and its iconic shape is known and recognised all over the world. Yet the B-52 and its predecessor, the B-47 Stratojet, started out looking very different indeed. Each aircraft was the end product of a lengthy...

Apparently the gas turbine in question (Model 502) was originally developed in response to a USN requirement, presumably on behalf of the USMC. I wonder what the intended vehicle was? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2011/05/09/turbine-powered-oddities-no-466-the-see-through-kenworth-boeing...

From Boeing Report D-8172 [NARA II] The Model 468 informal proposal was based on conversations between Boeing and BuAero in January 1947. The proposed airplane was a semi-expendable antiaircraft gunnery target. It was to operated at 450mph at altitudes between sea level and 20,000 ft. Two...

The other day I was looking at some space proposals from the past and I stumbled upon this beautiful SSTO. I have only been able to find one source that gave some details about it and I'm very much hoping that you guys can help get more details/drawings on this proposal. "The ”Windjammer”...

Hello Everyone, This might sound like a silly question but, why did British Airways' Boeing 757s have that black circle round their nose? It was the only type of aircraft in the fleet to have something like that. Was it there for aesthetic purposes or was it there for a reason? It is clearly...

Alone among the FARA contenders, Boeing have yet to fully reveal details of their submission, apparently designed by the company's 'Phantom Works'. They did release a teaser video - some screenshots of which are shown at https://facebook.com/aerospaceanalysis/

Hello Everybody, I've been doing some research regarding the fleet development of Malta's national airline, Air Malta, and I've run into a bit of a road-block when it comes to the early and leased Boeing fleets. The airline leased Boeing 707s and 727s and some BAC 1-11s, and their first...

Might be of some interest cause this one is much rarer than the 1:200 Revell kit. Today got a Monogram 2707-200 sst 1:400 kit, for 9€ (!). Ok it suffered from time and mist, but still i'm quite happy having this one for only 9€... And surface details are much better on this 1:400 kit than on the...

If anyone had a favorite giant airlifter, spanloader, or airliner project of the post-WW2 period, what would it be?
