Boeing Advanced Bomber Studies

[Sundog]

These are advanced Boeing Bomber Studies from the late '70s. Except for the two Rockwell design, which I left in due to the two page Boeing 'X-Wing' Bomber design.

Show us a picture of the one on the right-hand page! Please

I think that one on the right hand page was an oblique wing design (can't remember from who) where the wing rotated to be flush with the fuselage leaving a very slim and flattened lifting body design with twin fins.

There's a Rockwell design of that description on the Right-hand side of the scan (there should be a scroll bar below the image).

Just how fast was it supposed to go to generate sufficient lift?

Scroll bar! Dammit I keep forgetting about that on the larger images!!

 

[Sundog]

Or, On the larger images, I just right click and select "view image" and it shows me the whole image without anything else. Just remember to hit the back buttin when you're finished viewing

BTW, I'm using Firefox, for your ref.

Uh uh, and would you like some nice sideviews??? ;D

 

[Orionblamblam]

And *where* did those side views come from?

Note: the Rockwell strategic bomber side view has errors. The main wings had positive dihedral.

Eh eh, Mister Lark wins the First Pize...
Probably Aviazione & Marina had some three-views of the concept but not of all. This explains the wrong dihedral. There is another error in my opinion. The High Supersonic was the tandem wing, the large delta was the "strategic" (it is improbable to drive a so large wing to mach 1+)....

I've seen another shot of that one in which it has a negative dihedral. Not saying you're wrong just that somehow the impression got out there that it was negative.

 

[Matej]

Seems that its this one. But still artists impression. Better argument should be blueprint.

 

[Skybolt]

This one has surely a negative dihedral, but I suspect Scott has a real three views.

 

[Skybolt]

Ok, question settled: positive.

If you want, I will add more pictoriial info to Rockwell studies thread.

You bet!!!

Thanks Flateric, and I think I speak for all the forum members!
