It is noted Boeing Co have abandoned their design for variable-geometry, supersonic transport aircraft, and some aspects are discussed; instead, they are to develop slightly smaller, fixed-wing design, 2707-300; by adopting fixed wind of modified delta planform, new aircraft will be less efficient in supersonic cruise than had been aim for 2707-200; however, low-speed performance will, in some respects, be similar; diagram shows comparison of new transport with earlier swing-wing design.
