Boeing 367-80

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as The Boeing 367-80 N70700, the ‘Dash 80’, the only one built: Boeing’s private-venture jet transport prototype, first flown from Renton on 15 July 1954, which led to both the KC-135 tanker and the 707 airliner, was barrel-rolled over Lake Washington by Tex Johnston in August 1955, and has been displayed since 2003 at the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly, Virginia: a four-engined jet transport with a slim circular-section fuselage narrower than the 707’s, a low wing swept at 35 degrees carrying four Pratt & Whitney JT3C turbojets in pods on forward-swept pylons, a swept fin and tailplane and a tricycle undercarriage with four-wheeled main bogies, shown standing level with the gear down: Boeing’s house colours, with a yellow crown, fin and rudder, a thin white stripe over a chocolate-brown cheat line carrying five round windows and running forward over the nose, a yellow tongue over the cockpit roof, a white lower fuselage, ‘BOEING’ on the crown and the cheat line, ‘BOEING 707’ and ‘N70700’ on the fin, brown engine cowls with Pratt & Whitney badges and natural-metal wings, tailplane and pylons, as photographed at Udvar-Hazy (no 367-80 is in a UK museum; no three-view of the Dash 80 was found, so the side view is fitted to a near side-on photograph of N70700 and the wing, tailplane and engine pods follow a KC-135A three-view, rescaled to the Dash 80’s published span and length; the intake covers it wore outdoors are left off).
