Boeing 2707: Pentagon's Super-Jet Faster Than Concorde
'Planes That Never Flew', Season 1, Episode 4: In 1963, President John F. Kennedy greenlit a secret race for the ultimate aerospace prize: a 2,000 MPH supersonic airliner. This was the Boeing 2707, a 300-ton "Metal Monster" designed to fly higher and faster than any rival on Earth. Engineered with radical swing-wing technology and a heat-resistant titanium hull, it was America's classified answer to the European Concorde.
