SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT PROGRAM PHASE II-C

Abstract

The B-2707 configuration has been undergoing refinement as a result of comprehensive coordination with the airlines, wind tunnel testing, and further analysis. The high temperature test program for integral fuel tank insulation was successfully completed. A comprehensive test program has been underway for several months to develop a titanium surface treatment as a preparation for adhesive bonding. Construction of the Class I full-scale mockup is continuing on schedule. After 300,000 cycles on quarter-scale wing pivot bearings -11 and -12, test pressure was increased from 8,850 to 12,500 pounds per square inch. At 400,000 cycles, the bearings were removed and inspected. Wear measurements showed only 10% wear on the bearing liners.
