don't know if you guys have seen this, but i found this interesting- this is what Boeing has originally intended the 747-300 to be:

"With the poor reception of the 747SP due to higher trip costs compared to the DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 Boeing decided on offering a trijet version of the SP. The plane would have been bigger than either of the two, with more payload, range, and passenger capacity, but it received a cold reception and was never launched."
