Four full-color drawings scanned at 300 DPI presenting design concepts for a proposed nuclear-turboprop-powered version of the Saunders-Roe “Princess” Nuclear Flying Test Bed seaplane. Drawings from Convair, 1958.
Drawings: SD-58-14 (3781×3157 px), SD-58-14001-1 (5685×3291 px), SD-58-14001-2 (5857×3217 px), inboard Profile un-numbered (8451×3211 px).
BONUS: Cleaned-up grayscale versions of these drawings at the same resolution. Makes for much better printing.
