What if North American Aviation decided to compete with Boeing 707 and DC-8?

Enlarged version of Martin 4.0.4, equipped with the wings of XB-48 and their odd triple jet pods :mellow:

To avoid central undercarriage, not adequate for a liner, main u/c has been moved to sponsons in outer face of engine pods.

Airliner derived from Convair XB-36. Along with orignal XB-46

NAA continues

Regional liner based in North American B-45 Tornado.

B-45 based airliner appears build-able for those up to the cutting and PSRing.

Here three alternative Lockheed Jetliners of 50s. Starting with fuselage of Lockheed Electra L-188.

First 2 are my personal interpretation of project L-193, (Constellation II): https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/lockheed-l-193-constellation-ii-jet-airliner-1953.16708/

The third one is a what if Lockheed tried the 707 / DC-8 option

Nice! But I really like your SAS B-45 airliner. Has a bit of an Avro C102 Jetliner feel to it

Do you know that DC-9 could be a downscaled DC-8 with 4 smaller engines? https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/douglas-dc-9-development-concepts.9880/

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2021, 06:43:58 AM »

Along with RW Lockheed L-1011-500, here we have a twin derivative, with same engines but only two; Dash-600
https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/lockheed-l-1011-tristar-twin-derivatives.18025/

And here, another Lockheed project: QuadStar derived from L-101-500 too, with four engines (like those of DC-10-10) in an original disposition that I will call "Evan config"

DC-10 along with its derivative twin. Another real project https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/twin-engined-dc-10-project.4299/post-34002

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2021, 01:09:35 AM »

Has an Airbus look to it.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2021, 11:56:49 AM »

Super Scandia, equipped with 4 radials derived from RW's Saab Scandia. It is also equipped with a conformal fuel tank under the belly to reach intercontinental range.

apophenia · « **Reply #14 on:** June 06, 2021, 01:04:17 AM »

Nice! Your 'Super Scandia' has a piston-engined Electra feel about it

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #15 on:** June 06, 2021, 10:24:10 AM »

^^^^^
Maybe. But I have to recognize that I was thinking more on a DC-4/6.

Thanks for your words!

apophenia · « **Reply #16 on:** June 06, 2021, 10:28:14 AM »

Yes, it certainly has that DC-4 feel ... but something about the nose and cockpit windows especially the evokes Electra for me

Some years ago I saw this beautiful Tupolev design labeled as Tu-101

When I searched more deeply, I saw these two drawings

In Secret Projects https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/tupolev-post-1945-civil-and-military-transport-projects.15787/post-168853

:unsure: :banghead:

As nothing seems too clear , I decided to produce a turboprop powered and reduced version of Tu-134 :thumbsup:

Any other info or help with this project?

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2021, 11:02:23 AM »

Àpropos Il-86

1. RW Il-86

2. Do you know that in the beginig of project, Il-86 was to have Il-62 config (with 4 engines in the rear fuselage)?

3. What if a turboprop powered widebody?

4. Superpowered Il-86

What if Hawker Siddeley pruduced one early jet liner?
