"I say, Captain - number 32's running a little rough."

"32? On which side?"

Remarkably, the dateline is around a decade before LSD meant something other than money in London. They did it all on G&Ts. Where did we get such men?
 
One should never allow engine manufacturers to design aircraft. It only leads to excessive use of their own products, rather than building something bigger and more useful. Just as you should never allow airframe manufacturers to design engines. It usually doesn't work out very well.

Looking for additional information about this project. It seems to be UK VTOL SST.

What is the source for it ?.

It's a 1957 Royal Aircraft Establishment concept for a one-man Mach 5 VTOL "Minimal Aircraft." Chris Gibson wrote about it in issue V3N5 of Aerospace Projects Review. It could be scaled up to transport 20 passengers.

Thank you so much!

V3N5 ??? When was that published? The last edition of APR I have is V3N4, as shown on your site, or would this be one of the print editions, which I don't have . . .


cheers,
Robin.
 
Earlier I think. Scott learned what 'pear-shaped' means.

To paraphrase Ken Campbell, not the maddest design study in the world, but 'king close.

It was a fur-covered, ramjet-powered, convertible wing, M=5, VTOL aircraft whose rotor hub combined starter motor and generator, had a flexible fuel tank/heat shield, clamshell fuselage and when it all went pear-shaped, it converted into a lifeboat with one clamshell as the hull and the other raised as a sail

I did think it was some chief designer's equivalent of sending an apprentice for a long stand/verbal consent form/bucket of steam/tartan paint. (Or the key to the V-door, Schneiderman)

I must look up the date. You never know!

Chris

Can anybody ID this Vickers design? The design was found by the grandson of the the Vickers VC-10 designer Maurice Wilmer. See the post https://www.facebook.com/groups/169302970269659/permalink/255000198366602/?comment_id=255099068356715&notif_id=1514510427289473&notif_t=group_comment_follow:

I have to ask; 'fur covered'?
 
Yes. Fur-covered. Like a sea lion. Would I lie to you?

I think it was thought for the X-15 external tanks, but considered much too indecent for the small advantages it could bring.
