An early ’60’s (1962-63 timeframe) design for a variable geometry SST based on the NASA SCAT-16 geometry (the drawing appears to be in error in describing it as SCAT-15, which was a substantially different geometry). See HERE for Convairs view of an SST based on the SCAT-16 geometry.

The work was done for NASA. Requirements included a range of 3,200 miles, 125 passengers and a cruise speed of Mach 3.0.
