Boeing Pelican 1990s proposal Concept only

Boeing 2707 SST1960s design. Amockup was built

but no prototype.

Planned as an answer to the European ConcordeSupersonic Transport. At 306 feet (93 m) long it wouldhave been one of the longest airframes ever flown.Problems with the weight of the swing-wingmechanism and air friction heating in Mach 3 flight

provoked a drastic redesign, by which time airlineinterest in SSTs was dropping because ofenvironmental concerns. The U.S. Congress cut

government funding and airlines began cancelingorders.

McDonnellDouglas MD-12 1990 proposal

Proposed passenger aircraft, Designed to compete withthe A380 and the 747, canceled project

Hughes H-4Hercules "SpruceGoose"

1947, 2 November

Largest aircraft in the world 1947 to 1952 when theeven heavier Boeing B-52 Stratofortress first flew.World's largest flying boat, and largest wingspan of anyaircraft. Only one was ever built and it performed onlyone short flight.

Junkers Ju 390 1943, 20 October

Largest aircraft in the world 1943 to 1944 when theeven heavier Blohm & Voss BV 238 first flew. Selectedand further developed as the Junkers firm's entry forthe Amerika Bomber design contract.

Sukhoi KR-860 1990s proposal

KR-860 (Kryl'ya Rossii or Wings of Russia) earlynamed as SKD-717 is super large transport aircraft withweights about 650 tonnes (Antonov An-225 weight is600 tonnes), payload about 300 tonnes (An-225 payloadis 250 tonnes) and 860 to 1000 passengers, a proposedDouble decker wide-body Superjumbo jet by Russianaerospace company Sukhoi.
