Conceptual artwork from 1967 depicting a Mach 10 to Mach 14 hypersonic transport. Hydrogen burning scramjets would provide cruise propulsion at an altitude of 110,000 to 140,000 feet. No further data is available apart from what can be determined from the artwork. There are 136 seats, relatively few for an aircraft that is clearly quite large. The general configuration is similar to the hypersonic testbed previously posted HERE, especially the propulsion system & inlet arrangement.

You can download a 9.7 megabyte JPG file of the artwork; the link  is HERE. To access it, you will need to enter a username and password. The username and password are listed on page 2 of APR issue V0N0.  Note that both are case sensitive.
