“Two possible supersonic transport configurations studied by Boeing Transport Division engineers are shown in this artist’s drawing. The design shown at top has a modified delta wing under which are four pod-mounted engines with a high-mounted canard forward. The configuration below it also uses a modified delta wing, but of different shape, and has four engines mounted at the aft end of the fuselage. The canard is mounted low on the forward fuselage. Speed of both the study configurations is in the Mach 2-3 range. Boeing has expended several million dollars over the past few years in conducting basic studies of a supersonic transport to which it has given the numerical designation 733.”
The image was featured on page 5 of the July 1961 issue (Volume XXXI - Number 7) of "Boeing Magazine".
These aircraft are gorgeous, elegant, sleek, and look like they could’ve been designed yesterday. I really dig canards on any air/spacecraft.
An absolutely beautiful depiction by Boeing Aircraft Company artist/illustrator Jack E. Young.
The following is immensely satisfying, humbling and one in the “W” column:

Another great American/human being, with an amazing story. Note how eloquently, yet unassumingly he recounts his story. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Here & there, yes, but not on a large scale anymore. THANK YOU for your sacrifice and service Brother.
The top aircraft, in a possible subsequent version, appearing a bit more squat, with "733" on the tail & flying solo. Also rendered by Mr. Young:
