Never apologise for modeling an aircraft Yqueleden! Always great to have another artist cast their interpretation at FD scale. However you've made a quite considerably smaller aircraft than I did. The XB-31 design was a very large aircraft for the time. The dimensions I was working on gave a length ...

Douglas Model 1940 Every manufacturer has attempted to build a DC-3 replacement, and in 1957 Douglas described their model 1940 as their own attempt to design a new DC-3. https://i.imgur.com/XtvrDAt.png Designed as a pressurised, 4-engined medium airliner, the 1940 was marketed in 1957 as the DC-9,...

Compare the Avro Tudor never-builts, that were modifications and developments of actually built airframes - they were easily able to be drawn with an accurate detailed paneling displayed. Conversely, these HP airframes look bare without panel lines, but when there is no built aircraft - even one vag...

H.P.108 In 1955 HP submitted proposals for a laminar flow controlled airliner as the H.P.102, as well as the Jet Provost derived H.P.103 test aircraft. HP also proposed a military version of the H.P.102, as the H.P.105. As Sir Frederick could not get traction to proceed to immediate construction of...

H.P.130 A modified Folland Midge wing was test flown on an Avro Lancaster (keeping that aircraft employed and allowing it to survive to become the BOB Memorial Flight Lancaster) to further validate the the concept, and in 1963 HP proposed to further test fly in a modified HS.125 jet. https://i.imgu...

H.P.113 With testing now moving to a swept wing aircraft, in 1957 HP looked to modify a production English Electric Canberra bomber to take a swept wing. https://i.imgur.com/sow1wvq.png Two Bristol Orpheus engines were to be mounted in the rear fuselage, with inflight air intake being though the po...

In 1949 when Lachmann returned to HP, he brought with him the idea to create a porous wing structure to "suck in" the turbulent layer of air over a wing, and so decrease aerodynamic drag. Initial experiments with a glove over a Vampire wing were successful, although initial data suggested that this ...
