Boeing Sonic Cruiser

The Boeing Sonic Cruiser was a concept airliner with a delta wing-canard configuration. It was distinguished from conventional jet airliners by its delta wing and high-subsonic cruising speed of up to Mach 0.98. Boeing first proposed it in 2001, but airlines generally preferred lower operating costs over higher speed. Boeing ended the Sonic Cruiser project in December 2002 and shifted to the slower (Mach 0.85), but more fuel-efficient 7E7 (later named 787 Dreamliner) airliner.

    @Eric314 No I still have it. I think is has about 1000 parts. It's already pretty big. But who knows, I might finish it one day.

    @PlanesOfOld give each plane a number, put the numbers in a container, and pick one number from the container

    For planes, make some kind of fictional plane, look up future bisnes jets for inspiration, @Eric314 for rockets I think you should make a history of rockets series where you make the first rocket to idk the latest concepts for warp travel, it would be very interesting and a lot of rockets so a lot of ratings and a lot of people noticing you :)

    No! You will you just have to find what you are amazingly good at! This is good, but you could make a rocket 10x more amazing! Play around with building styles and build some rockets! @Eric314

    @Eric314 more agile, sort of look. The front wing looks awkward to. Kudos to you for trying.
