Hawker Siddeley Advanced Projects Group Designations

[overscan (PaulMM)]

The subject has been discussed in other topics which I might move some posts from to here.

To summarise -

The Hawker Siddeley Advanced Projects Group was initially set up for SST studies, and the first known designations are SSTs. They then started designing other advanced high speed aircraft designs. Published books have used APG.xxxx, APD.xxxx, P.xxxx, Type xxxx, HSA.xxxx designations.

The designation system is a sequence of type numbers starting at 1000.

Brochures generated by the Advanced Projects Group use a designation of APG/xxxx/...
Drawings generated by the Advanced Projects Group have a title of APD/xxxx/....
Designs generated by the Advanced Projects Group are always referred to within the brochure as "Type xxxx"

• Type 1000 - Delta wing SST.
• Type 1003 - VTOL Delta wing SST.
• Type 1009 - Generic VG studies of both transport and fighter/strike configurations. A model was airliner/transport and the ancestor of Type 1011, while B and C were fighter/strike configurations with B an ancestor design to 1017 and 1022.
  • 1009A1
  • 1009A2
  • 1009B
  • 1009C
• Type 1011 - Variable geometry SST (low sonic boom).
  • 1011A
• Type 1017 - RAF/Naval Strike fighter with variable sweep, lift jets and deflected thrust engines.
  • 1017B
  • 1017D
• Type 1019 - Family of aircraft designs capable of Mach 5 or greater. Many different versions were drawn.
  • 1019/A1 100 seat civilian Mach 5 transport
  • 1019/A5 Military version of 1019/A1
  • 1019/A6 150 seat civilian Mach 5 transport
  • 1019/E2 Small Mach 5 research aircraft
  • 1019/E5 Larger Mach 7 research aircraft
  • 1019/E6 Alternative to E2 with engines in wing pods.
  • 1019/H1 Second stage vehicle powered by liquid hydrogen, designed to be launched from a booster aircraft
  • 1019/H2 Second stage vehicle powered by liquid hydrogen, designed to be launched from a booster aircraft
• Type 1022 - Similar to 1017 but smaller.
• Type 1023 - Variable geometry transonic transport akin to Type 1011
• Type 1033 - VG hypersonic transport.
• Type 1034 - Mach 4 canard variable sweep wing fighter. 1034S was a strike optimised variant of 1034.

Will add links and additional models as discovered.

Hi @overscan (PaulMM) ,

@Barrington Bond posted a picture of what looks like the Type 1017B here. There is a 1017D drawing in BSP Hypersonics, Ramjets and Missiles on pg.42. In appearance, the 1017 series have similarities to the P.135 described by Roy Boot in "From spitfire to Eurofighter". Could the P.135 have been the outcome/down-selected/final version from the 1017 studies, or related in some other way?

Type 1011 thread is here.

Excellant work my dear PaulMM,

but I have a mystery in my files,I don't know if it was right or not ?;

Type 1010 a development of Hawker Nimrod ?!
