Historical Note Cont'd:   Whilst commercial jet transports began to enter service after World War 2, aiming for a supersonic airliner was a remote dream, until Convair developed their Mach 2 B-58 bomber. The dreams revived. Some studies proposed a B-28-like aircraft with a detachable passenger pod slung below it. Britain set up the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee in 1956, and in 1959 they favored two main types of SST (supersonic transport).

The Boeing SST (Swing Wing Fixed Aft), or also known as the 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. Rising costs, the lack of a clear market, and increasing outcry over the environmental effects of the aircraft -- notably sonic boom -- led to its cancellation in 1971 before two prototypes had been completed.
