More from Blacktail_F-A
Here's my latest aircraft design, and it's... *GASP*... a CIVILIAN aircraft!!!
Basically, the "Zephyr" is an attempt to create a highly-advanced aircraft in the same mold as the Boeing 707 (within the same timeframe as well, hence the "highly-advanced" part).
It's also a neccessary platform for several MILITARY aircraft I intend to design eventually, so I had to make a 3-view of the civilian basis for them sooner or later.
I almost didn't put landing gear on it's side profile, but I wanted to show how it would look on the ground more than I wanted to finish it quickly. Also, I didn't bother with any of the doors or windows, because that level of detail would have driven me bonkers. XD
Data for this aircraft is as follows;

Hmm, so this has either an extra deck or is a very early widebody design? The Boeing 757-300 could carry a maximum of 289 passengers in single-class configuration...and it's a few feet longer. The 707-320B can only carry 202 passengers in single-class configuration.
Still, not bad, Blacktail.

Perhaps so, but the layout is largely patterned on the Boeing 707, which is only 4000lbs of thrust short, and also has very narrow engines;
