Testbed for the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 C series engine, it was later
fitted with 27" long wing extensions (at the wing root), and used to
test the flight characteristics of the modified wing.

Iʼm an aeronautical engineering student. I am very much interested in magneto aerodynamics and I am doing a project on this topic. I will be grateful to any of you if u can provide me more information about magneto aerodynamics and the governing equations. Also I wanted to know how a strong magnetic field of appropriate shape is produced.

     I will be waiting for your reply.

     Thank you

The H.126 was an English experimental aircraft designed and built by
Hunting Aircraft in order to test the concept of blown flaps, or as
they were known in Britain, "jet flaps". Only one aircraft was built,
being flown in a series of one-hundred test flights at the Royal
Aircraft Establishment’s Aerodynamics Flight at RAE Bedford. It was
then sent to the United States for wind tunnel testing by NASA, and
eventually made its way to the museum at RAF Cosford.

The aircraft was designed purely for test purposes, and thus lacked
features such as retractable landing gear. The shoulder-level wing
featured a set of struts, not for support but in order to provide
piping for the compressed air used in the blown flaps. The rear
control surfaces consisted of a fairly small triangular T-tail,
similar to the one on the Gloster Javelin. The fuselage was fairly
simple, similar to the Hunting Jet Provost in layout, but with a
smaller cockpit for a single pilot. The air intake for the single
Bristol-Siddeley Orpheus engine was located in the extreme nose. The
jet flap system consisted of a series of sixteen nozzles arranged
along the trailing edge of the wing, which were fed about half of the
engine’s hot exhaust gases. A smaller amount, about 10%, was also fed
into small nozzles on the wing tips to provide control thrust at low
speeds. A similar system was later used on the Hawker Harrier for
similar reasons. This left little power for forward thrust, and the
aircraft was limited to low speeds, but the takeoff speed was a mere
32 mph (52 km/h), a speed most light aircraft would have trouble
matching.

What an absurd idea!

If you are a uk resident please sign the petiton Link below)

The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the
2012 London Olympics because they are deemed ‘too British’. Organisers
of the event say that the Arrows military background might be
‘offensive’ to other countries taking part in the Games. The display
team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team
‘too militaristically British.’ Red Arrows pilots were said to be
‘outraged’, as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display
for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed
from a British-based event for being ‘too British’ is an insult – the
Arrows are a symbol of Britain

The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas
trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the
world.
The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was
announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly
spectacular.   It is to be hoped that common sense prevails.
