Hi,

I think this was a Project in post # 109,

A jet aircraft project for the transport of mail has
was designed by Miles Aircraft Ltd.
London would then be linked to New York, Calcutta, Johannesburg and
Perth in 6, 12, 2 and 9 pm.

"The Mach 2.5 Vickers Swallow
The Vickers Swallow was a Mach 2.5 supersonic aircraft project headed by Barnes Wallis, working at the British aircraft company Vickers-Armstrongs.
The Vickers Swallow lacked conventional features, such as a vertical stabiliser and rudder, instead using the movement of variable geometry wings and swiveling engines mounted on pylons far out on the wing tips as its primary means of flight control.
Multiple roles were envisioned for the full-scale Swallow. It was initially viewed as suitable for a very long distance airliner; projections of its range would have enabled a non-stop England-Australia route to be served. Later on, the Swallow was increasingly viewed as a potential supersonic successor to the subsonic Vickers Valiant, one of the RAF's V bombers." (from the discreption)

Hazegrayart worked his magic once again. That, and the monster Hiller chopper catching S-IB midair. I played the former with U2 "still haven't found what I'm looking for" while the Hiller got Wagner "Rise of the Valkyries" as its OST.

Hi,

What was this ?.

Hi,

here is the Handley Page's idea of a possible laminarized M2.2 airliner of 1958,
may be it was HP.109.

Can anyone help ID this model? The photo was taken in the Midlands Air Museum, but I didn't see a label. There are some similarities with the Bristol 198, but I think the engine pod, and wing/body relationship don't quite match. I'm also assuming the livery is a recent, incongruous, addition.

Thank you!

From, JAWA 1960-1961,

here's a hypothetical concept.

From this book.

From Flight 1960,

FORGET MACH 3: Due to be illustrated by B. S. Shenstone, chief engineer of BEA, at a lecture before the US Society of Automotive Engineers
in New York this week were (left) the gothic plan-form, conical camber “basic supersonic lifting surface” for minimum wove drag ot Mach 2;
and (right) the M-wing answer to the achievement of subcritical aerofoil flow at around Mach 1.3. Good-visibility canopy design, difficult
when a pointed nose is desirable, is made possible by the pointed nose cone. [The BEA colours are an editorial addition.] The paper, which we
hope to summarize in a later issue, was entitled “Supersonic Air Transports—An Airline Talks Back.” Its theme is “let’s forget Mach 3”

From Flieger Revue 5/1977,


here is the BAC Mach-3 hydrogen fueled double deck supersonic transport aircraft
project,it had ogee-wing,low cockpit and a large tail fin,powered may be by four
engined and could carry 500 passenger,did we speak about it before,it's shape
is familiar.

I think that, this concept had EAG designation number,but what was it ?.
