Guess what.

i have started digging out drawings for a new scratch build to be put on the board at some point.

Bristol T188 supersonic test bed.
i will take my time on this one as it is going to be a proper full scale build.
might even offer the plans (when drawn up) to others.

:blink: :silly: :woohoo: :blink: :silly: :woohoo: :S

There is a similar thread running on the other forum - futuristic aircraft, in the chit-chat thread -

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Nice looking but technically rather a disappointment.
With great difficulty it was made of stainless steel to withstand the heat of sustained flying above Mach 2 but unfortunately it never got over Mach 1.8 and could sustain that for literally just a few minutes before it ran out of fuel.
It biggest contribution was in the design of its variable after burners and convincing Concorde's designers that their plane should be made of aluminium and limited to Mach 2!
