I was lucky enough to walk through the Boeing SST mockup as it was being converted from a wooden to a metal version.  It was designed with CAD/CAM [by a French company derived software system] so the metal conversion was a practical validation of the computer generated part designs.  A beautiful plane! All fluid connections were brazed.  The fuselage was designed to grow.  Tubular sections could be inserted, unlike the Concord, to grow lengthwise and the fuselage could be split down the center line to grow horizontally.
