Hi,

the Boeing 367-60 was gull wing turboprop and the 367-64 was
four turbojets projects.

Note that the -64 has the wing-mounted, body-stowed landing gear. A major step towards today's civil aircraft.

A clearer view to it from Le Fana 284.

The legacy of the B-29 is quite awesome when you think about it. B-50, B-54, C-97, Model 367, Tu-4 / 75 / 80 / 85, the Guppies, the chinese Tu-4 AWACS with turboprops.

I just had the chance to read the volume American Secret Projects 2: US Airlifters 1941 to 1961 and on page 93 there is an illustration of 3 Boeing 367 designs with the same wingspan as the B-54: the Model 367-7-21, the Model 367-8-23, and the Model 367-14-25. As with the B-29/B-50, the Boeing company never spared a chance to consider modernizing the C-97/367 design with a bigger span.

In my files,

From American Aviation 1947,

Has anyone ever been able to ascertain the Tu-4 AWACS with turboprop performance? B-29 related aircraft seem to have been ripe for turboprop conversions, yet they're few and far between. The KC-97J with YT-34s could do 400+ MPH with it's rather bulbous double bubble fuselage, and I'd expect much skinnier B-29 derivatives likely to be capable of 450+.

I believe these are 367 models and not 376

 

[hesham]

I believe these are 367 models and not 376

I will correct them.
