I don't think it will ever be made into something worth downloading :lol:

As a plane that was scrapped (for the 787?) it'll be hard to find good photos of it.

Nice jet and Idea.

But It would be hard to find everything to make one. There probably is a "budget" one out there somewhere. but it would prove very hard to make one to fulfill the requirement of most simmers these days.  Especially with little information available on the aircraft.

Yes, it was scrapped in favor of the 787 as a 767 replacement.

buying what? there's not a whole lot to buy, and I highly doubt the airline has the resources to build the thing if they planned on buying the aircraft plans

If no details are available I would assume something along the lines of Concorde or TU-144 'Concordski' gear would be appropiate as they were supersonic airliners

sonic cruiser isn't supersonic though, it planned on cruising just below the speed of sound to avoid the sonic boom :lol:
