Look familiar?

[NUKE]

Vulcan, is that bottom one the Boeing  SST concept?

Reading about the development and then hearing about how it was all shut down by environmental concerns makes me think we will never see anything like that.

Although,  I also heard that it could make sense if used in Asia and to cross the Pacific where the market might support one.

It's a cool idea, but I don't really ever see it becoming a reality.  Atleast not for a long time.

Thunderbirds ring a bell?

Thunderbirds ring a bell?

Muahahaha poor nuke

[NUKE]

Nope.

 I tried to read the letters on the plane but couldn't make it out. I just thought it looked similar to the Boeing SST from the 60's and thought it might have been one of the concepts, although the engines up on the tail did look stupid.

Now I look stupid.

Thunderbirds are GO!

[Ripsnort]

No worries Nuke. I don't even have to open my mouth and I look stupid. Just ask my wife. 

[RAIDER14]

Combined effort from Boeing and Airbus might get us one within 50 years.

[NUKE]

No worries Nuke. I don't even have to open my mouth and I look stupid. Just ask my wife. 

I didn't take offense, but thank you.
