300px-MOHAI - SST model

A model of 2707 aircraft.

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. Because of high costs and a not clear market it was cancelled in 1971, before the second prototype finished.
