Another (and possibly last) unbuilt DC-10 version, the DC-10-50. This particular version was to offer a third engine choice (after P&W and GE ones on the -40s and -30s) for the long range version by fitting Rolls-Royce RB211-524 engines. Since British Airways choose the Tristar-500 instead this plan was scrapped. ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/cMH8fw5.png)

While working on the DC-4 Carvair I got sidetracked into the never flown designs for the DC-6 and DC-7 Carvairs - the Aviation Traders ATL.98-6 and ATL.98-7. ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/rtxxaiy.png) Aviation Traders originally planned to modify DC-4, DC-6 and DC-7 aircraft to Carvairs, however Douglas would only provide the design data for the DC-4 due to worries over liability. ATL still continued with design plans anyway. The DC-6B was considered with either piston or Dart engines, and the DC-7B retaining the original piston engines, however at Farnborough in 1966 the Carvair 7 was modelled with Dart engines. In 1960 Ansett Australia expressed interest in the Carvair 6, and Fred Olsen had been expected to place orders for the Carvair 7, so I have modeled the aircraft in these launch customer colours. |

not so often you see a shipping company getting airplanes, but I do see the reason behind it. |

As a card carrying anorak, it's not often I find something new. Saw a Boeing movie for this aircraft on youtube, so had to paint it. I assume the original designation was "707-350", which became "735". She was planned to be 1 foot longer than the 707-320, so that would have been the joining mechanism, making her only a relatively minor modification to the -320. ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/WaXncso.png) Landing gear upgraded, thanx for keeping me honest! |

Nice work Sheepster, its great how your bringing these lesser-known designs to FD life. Power to the anoraks! |

Good work with these! (maybe except for the 735's rather oversimplified undercarriage  )

Without the military contracts that allowed Lockheed to fly their turbo-prop Constellations, Douglas never progressed their turbine DC-7 beyond the drawing board. ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/I3zFIWO.png)

Perhaps the most important aircraft never to have flown, the Douglas B-31. In direct competition with the Boeing B-29, the Douglas contender was never completed. If it had been; the B-29 would have been only a historical footnote, the Boeing C-97 and then the B-377 Stratocruiser would never have been created, without their revenue and workforce available Boeing would never have made the 707. Without the 707, the turbo-prop Constellation would have been produced in large numbers, de Havilland and then Vickers would have started a much lower key British jet age. ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/uYew2J8.png) Initially designed with the "bug eye" cockpit used for the Mixmasters and early C-74 Globemaster, I've modelled the late-build aircraft with the later Globemaster style "standard" cockpit. The aircraft originally was to have very long 3-bladed props, and the late aircraft is fitted with the B-29 style 4-bladed props. Thanks to @Eswube, the aircraft are both painted from his B-29 collection, as how those particular aircraft would have looked as B-31's not B-29's. |
