Boeing's 7*7 Legacy
With its latest 7E7 future-project study, Boeing has resurrected a system of nomenclature dating from the 1960s. Ian Goold reviews earlier 7*7 or other 'X' studies which have led to today's 737NG, 757, 767 and 777 models and outlines Boeing's considerations in developing the 7E7 to replace the 767.

Ground Effect Vehicles - The Second Generation

What Goes Around Comes Around - The Gyrodyne Enters The 21st Century
