US Supersonic Transport(SST) Program post-1971

I'm so glad the ICAO has unclenched about composite structures not being allowed...

The Lockheed design is very weird, was not expecting engines above and below the wing like that.

A camera is installed in the nose of the aircraft, and a high-pixel display ensures forward visibility during takeoff and landing.

Overture is becoming a bit extreme and a scary aircraft.

Hi! Lockheed LH2 fuel SST design. Enjoy.

These NASA-funded studies explored with Lockheed the feasibility of hydrogen jet commercial aircraft. One of them aimed at comparing Jet A and LH2 for going supersonic assuming M=2.7 cruise, 234 PAX, and 4200 NM of range. That glorious 326-ft-long double-decker was about half of the MGTOW of the Jet A equivalent. Roughly a third more energy-efficient as well! (Brewer, 1991)

I didn't find anything about the Northrop Grumman LST-011 in this thread. Does anyone have more Information?
All I could find is from the E-book 'General Dynamics F-16XL Dual Role Fighter'. Free online.

A 3d version made by me is in this thread.
