This was an interesting proposal, a medium range SST. One version incorporated a simple, light-weight variable geometry wing. This wing had outer sections folding down during supersonic flight, and gave improved stability.
Worthy of note, the research into this design was conducted using an IBM 650 digital computer, at a time when the rest of us were using slide rules.
Engines were to be 4 x RR RB169/2, 70 to 88 pax, Mach 2.2

The beautiful model of course back then, hand built, probably from wood and painted.

What was meant here by "medium range" was in fact Paris - Algiers, including a large portion over the sea, which made supersonic flight attractive. A need that evaporated in 1962.

Looking for something not related to the Concorde, found this interesting ad from Pan Am in the Internet Archive:
Quite an interesting fleet for 1969... 747 and two supersonic transports.
