The British flying wing

Postby Tony.osborne » Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:02 pm

I share with you some photos, including a rare photo with markings of the Royal Air Force, of the experimental airplane Armstrong Whitworth AW-52. If the plane had entered service during World War II would have helped to anticipate the end of the conflict? Visit the link below, see the photos and answer on this question.

It was a post-war development aircraft, so it is hard to see the point of the question. :-? :-? :-?

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

The Luftwffe had a "Flying Wing" off the drawing board & airborne during WW2... I'm not sure if it was rocket powered.
