Thumbs up

Oh man, I think I'm getting a major stiffie!

The VG version of the Boeing 2707 (which was the original and larger version) would have been one impressive sight to see. 277 seats might have made it a more economic proposition than the limited seating on the Concorde. Interestingly, the later 2707-300, which featured the double delta fixed wing, reduced seating by around 40 seats. Most people aren't even aware that the main reason for the double-jointed nose section was for ground clearance with the nose drooped.

Personally, the VG version was more impressive, if not more technically daunting.

I also must commend you on the 2707 logo you designed. I take it that's of your own design, Dar? I've never seen it in association with the 2707 project before, but it's very striking and as much an accomplishment to me as your rendition of the aircraft itself.

Check this well done page on the Boeing 2707 SST filled with artwork from the initial studies.

Impressive- I do believe you've outdone your previous 787 work here on this one, Dar.
