Is Trans Am an airline?

[edit] In miniature

Uh, Charles A. Lindbergh was a vocal opponent of the SST. Are you saying that a company called Lindbergh made a model?

There was/is a plastic model making company named Lindbergh. No clue if Lucky Lindy had anything to do with it, or if the name was a complete coincidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.35.113.120 (talk) 06:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Uh, the Boeing 733-390 was a swing-wing aircraft that was very much a narrow-body with a swing-wing with it's engines mounted under the glove (the inboard part of the wing where the variable-wing pivots are connected to, like the F-14's "Pancake") and a regular ordinary, albeit large tailplane (unlike the B-2707-100 and -200's wings blending in with the tailplane to form a delta-like shape in cruise).

The B-2707-100 was a swing-wing design with a gigantic tail that had all four engines mounted underneath it, with the swing wings blending in with the tail to form a delta-like wing at cruise. Originally the design had a maximum fuselage width of six-abreast, and five abreast in other areas. The fuselage widening into a seven-abreast (2-3-2) set-up probably occured AFTER Boeing won the SST competition, a small modification was made to the shape of the horizontal-stabilizer as well.

I hope my advice will come in useful
