you can use my aircraft to make any uniforms, as long as I see it, I will like your post

In the early 1970s, after the collapse of the SST program due to, in part, the rise in energy prices, Boeing, Lockheed, General Dynamics and NASA looked at the possibility of jetliners designed to fly economically right at the edge of the sound barrier. The idea was that there is an unavoidable spike in drag at Mach 1.00, but it would theoretically be possible to fly at, say, Mach 0.98 at relatively low drag. This would make the aircraft about 100 mph faster than conventional jetliners without being much more expensive. In order to pull this off, the jetliners would need to take advantage of every imaginable aerodynamic trick in the book… most obviously, area rule designing resulting in “wasp waisted” fuselages, and almost no straight lines… all curves. The problem is that this makes aircraft heavier and more expensive to build. Thus, no transonic airliners ever got any further than wind tunnel tests.

The concept reappeared in the Sonic Cruiser launched by Boeing in 2001

    @ShirakamiShimada it was shaped like that to improve aerodynamics. that's the point my guy.

    God. Why does the fuselage curve like that

    It's kind of crazy how far Boeing was planning on going with the Trijet design. The 747 and 777 both had Trijet designs at one point in their production. I do kinda wonder why Boeing never broke into the widebody Trijet market.

    This plane concept definitely has a really interesting shape compared to most other airliners designs I've seen over the years. =D
