The Boeing 473-12, from July 1948. An early concept for a passenger jetliner, this would have been powered by two Rolls Royce “Nene” engines and could carry a crew of three and 27 passengers a range of 550 miles. This was an early step on the path to the 707, the worlds first successful jetliner.
A three-view of the early jetliner design, showing the clean lines and basic geometry that would become virtually standard for the next seventy years or more.
Engine pod with double intake/exhaust for a single engine?
I recall Boeing Model 479 six jet engined XB-55 bomber: it has a triple intake/exhaust pod plus an additional double intake/exhaust pod configuration on each wing.
Any explanation for that mistery?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio
> Any explanation for that mistery?
Yes: I had a mis-labeled bit of art. Now corrected.
Thanks
However, that means the mistery pods in the Model 479 question will remain unsolved by the moment.
Just for my records, which is the Model of the Boeing jet airliner you posted by mistake?
Thanks again
473-2, not -12.
this reminds a me a LOT of the Baade 152
