Various airliner and transport projects

[hesham]

Hi,

The Hawker HS.860 was a project of turbojet version of Avro-748
but the engines were mounted at the rear of the fuselage.

Hola Golfus,

Take a look at:

Bill Gunston, Giants of the Sky, Patrick Stephens, Ltd., 1991. This book describes what in their time were the biggest airplanes of all time. The book is divided into decades, starting with Pre-1920, and then continuing on with a section on each decade, ending with a section called Since 1970

I am locking these "Random" topics. The purpose of the forum is somewhat like a database. The only common factor here seems to be their discovery by Hesham in Flight magazine.

Please create new topics as appropriate. Moderators, feel free to split the topic up.

We've said it before, I'll say it again. Please do NOT create a new topic for just a three-line item on some unbuilt project from an unknown company, it doesn't make any sense!

I don't know you split this topic.

How many times will the moderators have to explain the same things to you, hesham? I didn't split the topic, I MERGED it.

It is absolutely useless starting a new topic for each new one-line reference you find. It spreads information around and reduces chances of something being found. It is much better to post such obscure projects by little-known and/or defunct companies in GENERIC topics (the "Various..." topics for instance). Not only it keeps all similar projects together in one place, but it actually increases chances of finding another post in the same topic about the same project.

IF/WHEN a project is well-enough documented, it can always deserve a separate topic and be split.
