Anyone has a clue about the Boeing 7J7?

Anyone got any pictures?

A quick search on Google produced this. Looks a lot like a twin engined 727.

Could this 7J7 designation be referring to the early designs for the 757 (727 replacement) which resembled what we now know as the 757-200 but with a T-tail like the 727 ?

Here’s a pic of the 7N7 concept.

The 7J7 was, at least as far as I know, originally a proposal/wish from SAS for a Passenger Pleasing Plane, which was an idea from SAS’ manager in the 80’s, the charismatic Jan Carlzon. In his dreams, the PPP was an aircraft whose fuselage was a laying oval with two aisles. There is/was at least one model made of it in SAS colours about 1986-87, it looked like a 727 without the tail engine, and with UDF (un-ducted fan) engines, an idea which was in fashion at the time. Some people say that the J in ‘7J7’ stood for Jan as in Jan Carlzon. Other people claimed it stood for Japan from where several subcontractor companies came.

I think I have a sketch of it somewhere in a magazine or book, will have a look.

The original designation for the B757 was the B7N7.
The ‘N’ stadning for narrow. 😀

I don’t get that because if they cancelled it in 1987 then the 757 had already replaced the 727 in service by at least 4 years?

I guess not, because it says

Boeing cancelled the 7J7 in 1987 and instead concentrated its resources on further developments of the Boeing 737 and the Boeing 757.
