Date1970
Historical BackgroundThe Boeing 2707 was developed as the first American supersonic transport (SST). After winning a competition for a government-funded contract to build an American SST, Boeing began development at its facilities in Seattle, Washington. The Supersonic Transport Division built a titanium mock-up, before rising costs and the lack of a clear market led to the project cancellation in 1971 before two prototypes had been completed.
