Many articles can be found about the UDF version of the 7J7, but what about this second variant?

Hi, the Aviation Week magazine published this Boeing VTOL transport aircraft project and the Flightglobal magazine displayed it. http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1973/1973%20-%202151.html

Until now I personally knew of work done by Boeing in the early '60s for post-Saturn boosters only via a short hint in the fundamental "Nova and beyond" by Prof. Koelle. Found this on NTRS, it's fourth volume of a study on solid first stage Nova-class boosters done in 1963. First volume...

Sometimes projects make themselves discovered in very unlikely places. Last Friday I was in Rome at the Italian Air Force historical archives doing research for my book. On the same table there was my friend Paolo Miana looking for infos on the Italian giant bombers of late 20s -early 30s...

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This patent, for example... http://www.google.com/patents?id=T1wtAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=4828204&num=100 .... shows the Boeing Model 733-606-12 supercrusie demonstrator project from about 1977. It is a rare patent in that it is quite detailed and the...

Boeing's LWF design was rated very highly in the LWF competition. It has been suggested it came second in the evaluation to General Dynamics Model 401 (F-16), but Northrop's P-610 was given the second contract because it was twin engined and hence represented a different approach. Boeing's...

I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design? Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing...
