Concept Aircraft : Mach 3 Jetliner (1958)

Mach 3 Jetliner (1958)

This was Paul Lindberg's speculative civilian version of the Air Force's XB-70 bomber, which was then still under development. Note that this airframe design had only one tail, whereas the actual XB-70 had two. From the instruction sheet: "By the early 1970's, supersonic jet airliners are expected to be used by nearly all of the major airline companies, and travel from New York to Paris will take approximately 3 to 4 hours." Ah, those were the days!
