I speedily found that; never saw any internal picture of the domestic version. Will try to find some more info.

The fixed wing version of the 2707 had no longer any 7 abreast version

BUT a seven abreast version was later reintroduced on the fixed wing version

The most beautiful American SST projects!

There was also a planned domestic version of the L 2000; but 5 abreast seating only.

Quite frankly, the model is gorgeous, and I am happy Hesham did post it.

The models are excellent and reasonably priced

Thanks for looking. I have always been curious as to the design of the 321 passenger B2707-300 7 abreast model, especially we have all seen multiple stages of the 5 abreast prototype and the 6 abreast commercial versions. I figure if there is an illustration or model it's at the Boeing Archives. Even aviation week doesn't have anything. I tried to do it myself and I realized I should never try that again.

I apologize for this hideous cropping but someone else that I personally know didn't understand what I meant by high capacity domestic model. This is it. This would have been American's NY to LA route as example. Or Easterns's NY to FL. Coupled with the last minute idea of turbofans and downgrade to mach 2.2 I've always thought this would have sold as many models as the 234 passenger 5 abreast one. Again I apologize for the high school level crop.

Has anyone ever seen a line drawing, plan, model or anything of the Boeing 2707-300 wide body 7 abreast 321 passenger variant? We have all seen the 280 foot 234 passenger, 286 foot 258 passenger, and the 298 foot 298 passenger versions. So I'm thinking Their had to be at least one illustration of the high capacity domestic variant.

I think I found one illustration of the domestic version. It does fit the dimensions even though it is an artistic illustration. It's from the Boeing promo "You, me, and the SST". You can find it on Youtube. But if anyone is still looking please continue.

A short summary for Boeotians like me ... Young teenager in the 60 I followed with passion this development of the SST US and the Boeing 2707 was a fabulous wonder ! Concorde was just a toy ...

What Happened to the American SST?

Such a shame it didn't come to pass, even as overwater-only flights.

I have come to the conclusion that the sketch of the 2707-300 that shows up in the promo You, me, and the SST is the only visual of the 321 passenger Domestic variant. I use the 2707-200s rendering as example. The severe area ruling and 2-3-2 wide body double aisle fuselage are identical. I use the 2-3 single isle 234/250 passenger version as an example of how different the two variants are. unless somebody finds another rendering or blueprint this is the large variants only representation I have ever seen.

Interesting, are you planning a 3d model of the variant ?

Yeah, I have a PDF of the 2707-300 General Characteristics handbook (pretty sure I got it from this thread!), but it doesn't show a seating layout for the 321pax version. Just that basically the entire fuselage would be different between that version and the 234pax arrangement.

That PDF does show seating for the 298pax all-tourist class. Mostly 3+3, with 3+2 at the ends.

This is outside the timeframe of this thread so mods can remove if not relevant but I found this 1947 turbojet, ramjet and rocket powered NACA design interesting.
