There is no question that the UK had the necessary metallurgy to construct turbines, Whittle, Hooker and their peers would confirm that.
Rolls-Royce and Bristol, along with BTH and research at RAE etc. had been developing superchargers progressively since the mid 1920s and had acheived a high...
Couldn't find a thread on this so here goes:
In March 1938 the Air Staff put together a paper that described an ideal bomber, and then a few months later specification B.19/38 was produced which indicated that the bomber would have a strong defensive armament of eight 20mm “shell-firing gun”...
Hello people! I'm looking for information about the following projects, some pure paper projects, other more serious proposals never come to fruition:

Hi,
in 1938,Parnall designed a twin boom heavy bomber Project,with no supporting
tailplane or structure between the booms,how we can find a drawing or a more
Info about it ?.
A handful of examples of the Saro/Blackburn Segrave twin-engined light touring monoplane were built in the early 1930s, mainly by Blackburn at Brough. Some were license-built by Piaggio as the P.12, but I don't know how many (Wikipedia suggests just two).
The last Blackburn-built Segrave was...
I am trying to identify which monoplane aircraft were flown by the U.S. Army Air Service during its brief 1918-1926 existence in a largely biplane era. So far, I have come up with two:
--Fokker T-2 transport/ambulance
--Verville-Sperry R-3 racer
Can anyone think of any more?
Cheers...
New book available which may be of tangential interest to SPF members. Automotive history is filled with concepts which never left the drawing board, with early streamlined projects being among the more fascinating. This book presents ten of the most striking and unusual aerodynamic automobile...
Enrico Cernuschi and Vincent O'Hara's article on Italian aircraft carrier design ("Search for a Flattop: The Italian Navy and the Aircraft Carrier 1907-2007") in Warship 2007 has a passing mention of two mid-1930s proposals for carrier-based aircraft: the Caproni Ca.165 biplane fighter and a...

"The Ba.27 was a low-wing braced monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. As originally designed, the Ba.27 had a fuselage of steel tube construction, skinned with light corrugated alloy metal, and wooden wings and tailplane...
We have topics on several of the aircraft in this list, and attempts at identifying missing numbers in places, but no complete list in one single topic, so I thought this could be a good idea. Since it's the "Designations" section here, I'm only giving the basic info for identification purposes...
