It was to fly even faster than the Concorde, at speeds approaching Mach 3. And even carry more passengers. It would have flown the distance from Los Angeles to New York in under two hours. America’s effort to build a supersonic airliner was an ambitious project spanning a decade and costing a billion in government funding. But even an army of aerospace engineers and the latest in aviation technology was not enough to get America’s Supersonic Transport (SST) off the ground.
In 1962, the British and French announced a partnership to build the world’s first supersonic airliner, the Concorde. A few months later, the Soviets also jumped into the race with SST plans of their own supersonic airliner, the Tupolev 144. As America had watched these programs transform from concepts into serious enterprises, officials began to worry about maintaining America’s lead in civil aviation.
So in 1962, President Kennedy announced that the U.S. government would help fund the development of an American supersonic transport. Manufacturers were invited to participate in a design competition. Design entries from Lockheed (L-2000) and North American Aviation (NAC-60) were reviewed. After years of evaluation, Boeing’s 2707 was selected as the winning design.
But it turns out that building an SST significantly faster and larger than the Concorde would be enormously challenging, requiring completely new aviation designs and technologies. As the 1960s wore on, the Boeing 2707 program was plagued by technical setbacks, and the program’s ambitious goals were not being met. An anti-SST movement had grown around opposition to sonic booms and other environmental concerns.
When funding for the Boeing 2707 project was canceled in 1971, foreign competition and concerns about national prestige were not enough to offset political, economic and environmental pressures. The public’s view of government programs and optimism over technology had waned. Over the course of the 1960’s, the world had changed. #SST #Boeing2707 #Airplanes

    The idea of flying across the country in two hours probably sounded much more interesting in a time when you didn't have to show up to the airport 2 hours early for security and lines, didn't spend an hour getting to the airport, and didn't have a 1 hour drive or worse through traffic to get to your destination from the arrival airport. In the grand scheme of things, the extra couple of hours of flight is just the nice part of the trip.

On the other hand, they should manage to invent something that removes the boom. I mean for a flight from NYC to LA or to London, they could fly out to the sea before crossing the Mach 1 and then turn and accelerate to max cruising speed.

    At the time of the 2003 Columbia disaster, I lived in western Louisiana, directly under one of three shuttle glidepaths to Florida landings. I was eating breakfast and had Fox News on. They were about to cover the landing. I knew that it was on my glidepath and expected the huge sonic boom that we always got. Instead, I heard a rapid series of about 12-15 smaller booms. That meant multiple objects, so I knew what had happened. I rushed outside to see if I could see anything in the clear sky. Nothing. I rushed inside as the news was reporting that the shuttle was "overdue" at Cape Canaveral.

    The SR-71 was incredibly complicated and expensive to build. It was also not economical. It’s one thing to develop and build a handful of these aircraft at the expense of the US government, who would also have the budget to operate them. It’s another thing when it comes to civilian aircraft and most of the costs to develop something equally capable as the SR-71 fall on their own books, and the operating costs fall on the airline.

    But the SR 71 was flown despite a number of technical flaws that would never have been allowed to transfer to a commercial airliner. The first was that welding titanium is a dark art that still hasn't been mastered to high standards. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Every SR 71 leaked aviation fuel from every seam when it was on the ground. The seams tightened up during flight, but this would be a major concern for any passenger getting within fifty feet of a 2707. Equally, the frictional heating of the outside of the SR 71 meant that crew could lose skin and flesh just brushing against the cockpit or exposed fuselage. To prevent this happening to paying customers, the 2707 would have had to have extra layers of insulation above and beyond normal aircraft. I would love to have seen it, would love to have had it work, but time and tide were against it from the start. The miracle is that Concorde lasted so long.

    One of the reasons the Concorde's success was limited was due to complaints from people in France. The sonic booms across France during initial tests drew heavy complaints. As a result, the flight plan from New York to Paris, which was about 3.5 hours, involved one full hour of subsonic flight before and after reaching the Protected Points (PP) off the coast of France and off the coast of the US. There is simply no way flights from NY to LA or anywhere else over land at supersonic speeds would have been tolerated. The Oklahoma tests made that abundantly clear, as well. The only way supersonic flight over continents (except almost entirely barren parts of the USSR) would be tolerated by those on the ground would be to do it the way rockets do. Fly vertically until you are so far out of the atmosphere that no one can hear you boom. The Concorde and its potential rivals were nowhere close to that. The Concorde actually had to climb to a high altitude then dive to break the sound barrier, then could continue to climb.

I remember it had a complete interior, It was probably pretty narrow but I was still small enough I didn't really notice, and had a lot of interior TVs. The details are gone from my memory, I don't think they were in seat backs, TV picture tubes were too big, might have been in the end of sections of the luggage bins. I also remember there was some material in the house prior to that about a multi stage intercontinental rocket powered bomber, I'd assume it was a one way trip for the crew, Dyna-Soar.

Alongside the cabin mockup, there was a model of the huge bearings that were supposed to support the swing wings. They were the size of hot tubs, and were heavier than the entire payload. They were pretty much the last straw in this design fiasco.

    The 6:35 mark in the video mentioned the Boeing 2707 super sonic booms at 60,000 feet could be heard at nearly 30 miles away. The SR-71 Blackbirds usually cruised at 80,000 feet (about 15 miles altitude). To minimize the noise would mean the 2707 would have needed to fly at around 160,000 feet, which would make pressurization much more difficult since even the SR-71 pilots needed pressurized suits similar to astronauts.

    We DID build one SST in the form of a bomber: The XB-70 Valkyrie. Unfortunately, that aircraft also ran into some instability problems. Then there is the B-1B Lancer which could also be converted into a passenger liner. But then again, I once lived near an Air Force training and testing range and the problems that can arise from sonic booms are real.

    What stability problems did B-70 have? Both planes had technical issues that were probably typical for experimental aircraft that weren't in serial production. 1 of the plane was lost in a mid-air that was completely not the fault of the airplane; the survivor flew uneventfully for a few more years before being retired at WPAFB, where it flew under its own power. "Then there is the B-1B Lancer which could also be converted into a passenger liner." No it can't. It's internal volume is nowhere near enough to accommodate passengers, and its shape was dictated by the need for high-speed flight at low altitudes, where an airliner wouldn't fly, and for a reduced RCS. Also, the B-1B has a top speed well short of Mach 2, and a cruise speed even lower.

Or the people in the UK who similarly complained about sonic boom. Besides, overland supersonic flights weren't only banned in the US. They were banned in Britain, France, Malaya, India, and Singapore, among others. In the end the ban was effectively worldwide. The ban wasn't some conspiracy against Concorde, it is because sonic boom is unbearable. BTW Operation Bongo was conducted in 1964, 3 years before the Boeing 2707 program even started, so your timing is way off.

    One thing you failed to mention was that when Nixon canceled the contract it cost the taxpayers more in penalties than if they had completed the 2 prototypes. When informed by Bill Allen, CEO of Boeing he (Nixon) tried to reverse the announcement. Unfortunately the numerous subcontractors that had been contractually assured by the US government that they would be able to recover their development costs if the program was canceled. In the end the taxpayers were on the hook for far more than the cost to finish the program through the prototypes per the contract.

    I can personally relate to the anti sonic boom movement that fought super-sonic aircraft operations over the continental U.S. during the 60's/ early 70's. There is a you tube video - "Tall man 55" - It details USAF practice runs to attack enemy targets. These practice runs used B-58 aircraft to simulate attacks on greenfield MA. My grandparents lived in CT. and the sonic booms from these practice runs shattered windows of their home from these activities. It is a shock to hear a sonic boom on a clear day- you do not expect it and it does do damage.

    I've lived a couple of miles from a prominent U.S. air force base for about two decades. I've also had friends who lived literally RIGHT NEXT to operational railroad tracks. I mean 50 yards away maximum. Needless to say it's uncommon to see less than a few jets fly overhead per day. And every year air traffic really picks up when they're practicing for the annual air show. I mention all of this because, believe it or not, human beings eventually adapt to daily stimuli. I don't even notice jets. Haven't for years. And my buddies who live right on the train tracks say the same thing about the daily train commutes. They eventually grow to block the trains out. So the temporary minor annoyances are just that -- temporary. Beyond that, we've the resources and technology to replace windows with proper shatter resistant materials. The price we'd pay is minimal when considering what supersonic transportation would allow. It'd be entirely possible to wake up in NYC, fly to London for a business meeting and lunch, and be back home that evening. We've built societies on our ability to travel great distances in short amounts of time. And the psychological impact of being able to travel the world in a few hours would really impact the way in which the average citizen views the world around them. Way too many benefits for such transient nonsense to be the reason it never sees the light of day. If it's not economically viable I'd understand. But not complaints of window damage.
