Like the Americans, the
British produced a number of unusual
experimental aircraft
during the 1950's and 1960's to test various
aerodynamic theories. Two examples
are:
Boulton Paul P.111
(also known by its government specification
of E.27/46) - Designed to
test the transonic performance of delta
wings, the sole example VT935
first flew in 1950. The aircraft
last flew in 1958 but survives as
an exhibit at the Midland Air
Museum at
Coventry.
Hunting H.126 (also
known by its government specification of
ER.189D) - This aircraft was built
to test the concept of blown
flaps and first flew in 1963. After a
series of test flights in the
UK it was taken to the US
and tested in NASA wind tunnels.
The only flying example, XN714
now resides at the RAF Museum
at
Cosford.
This CD contains the
Prototype Notes (sort of a combination of
flight
manual and maintenance manual) for the P.111 and H.126.
The CD has been scanned from the original flight manuals
and
retains any colour pages.
This CD contains:
1. Manufacturer
produced Prototype Notes for the Boulton Paul
P.111 (known by its government specification number E.27/46).
Originally classified Secret, the manual is undated but revised
to 28-4-55 with approx 239 pages.
2. Manufacturer produced Prototype Notes for the Hunting H.126
(known by its government specification number ER. 189D).
The manual is undated but revised to Feb 1966 with approx 505
pages.
