What do you call wireframe-like projection images of technical objects?

Like the rocket images below:



This is not an actual wireframe because empty spaces are not filled with a grid; only notable features are displayed.

It's merely an Illustration. - Pen & Ink, Line Drawing, etc.

I don't know that I would even go so far as to call it a "technical drawing" since all the technical aspects aren't drawn. It's merely a line drawing.

Two words: "Technical Drawing".

Simply enter "techical drawing" in the search-box of your favorite search engine. You'll find a whole universe of such "drawings".

EDIT

Related to your example: that's a technical drawing comparing Russian rocket type heights. They are drawn according to ISO 128 Technical drawings — General principles of presentation. (In case you're curious, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing has some more info on that.)



The above example is from www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576509000307 but NASA has some nice technical drawings too (even old ones like history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/p256.htm) and don't miss out on historicspacecraft.com which has modern versions including color illustrations based on technical drawings.
