Avro Vulcan XH558

I went to Woodford to watch the last ever flight of this aircraft. It came swooping in low with the engines howling and the bomb bay doors open, I nearly shit myself. Sounded like something straight from hell, utterly fucking awe-inspiring.

Got back to the car, could barely stand up. I was so emotional at having seen this majestic plane, I was about to faint. That's how fucking great the Vulcan was.

US has some but they are just for training/demonstration so far. 13 countries have them

>>738836010
British, yup. Was the first ever delta wing bomber, a lot of the design was reused for Concorde a few years later. The Vulcan was a bomber that could outmaneuver any fighter of the period, scared the shit out of the Russians for a brief period until nuclear defence changed to ICBMs rather than bombers.

It also held the record for the longest ever bombing run, non-stop from Ascension Island to the Falklands in Operation Black Buck, the most complicated bomber refuelling mission ever conducted. And fuck me, the sound of those engines. This is the exact aircraft I saw ...

that thing looks and sounds like death itself

>>738836550
probably because of NATO no? since the US can do it for them right?

>>738836550
We've got no heavy industry any more! My dad built fucking nuclear power stations and oil rigs, now we sell each other insurance and the fucking Chinese build all our infrastructure. But for a brief time in the 1960s we were an industrial powerhouse and a true world power, the third country to develop nuclear weapons after the US and Russia. The Vulcan typified that spirit and I was truly saddened to see the last ever flight. It really served to demonstrate the ever-widening gulf between what we once achieved and the pale shadow of a nation we've become.

>>738835969
Yeah i saw that at farnborough. One of its last flights. Majestic aircraft. And the sound.

>>738836646
they couldnt afford to keep them operational or buy new bombers, so by default the US has to do it.

And then there was the forerunner of the Vulcan (no, really). I saw a Lancaster a few years back, it flew really low over my apartment building for an RAF display at Salford Quays. The entire building shook, I actually thought a plane was coming down outside. Unbelievable sight, another awe-inspiring aircraft. More impressive for me because my dad did his National Service as a Senior Aircraftsman and worked on these planes.

But they never got it quite right did they. The TU-144 was a complete disaster from the outset. The cheeky cunts even asked the UK for assistance with the computer controlled engine inlets, UK Gov politely told them to fuck off as that had military applications. So they built their shitty Konkordski and it split in half at the Paris Air Show.

That's how the jew thinks. They can't fight their own wars but they're more than happy to watch the goy die for them. And (((the media))) make sure the US public are fully in favor of us fighting the jew wars.

>>738840282

The de Haviland Comet was also a beauty

>>738837222
OOOOOEEEEEEOOOOO

>>738840568
>de Haviland Comet

World's first passenger jet airliner, incredibly successful until it developed metal fatigue and disintegrated in mid air a few times.

>>738840825
Yep. Also was quite expensive to run and hard to maintain, as the engines were built into the wings, rather than suspended from pylons for modularity these days. But flew fast and high. I love how they tested it by actually building a water tank and physically simulating the pressurisation cycles by pressurising the water inside and releasing it since there was no computers to simulate that back then. Real engineering.

>>738841107
>Real engineering

Dunno about that, designing the windows with sharp corners was asking for trouble. But then, no one knew about the hazards of metal fatigue in aircraft back then. Still a beautiful looking plane.

>>738835515
My nephew flies this J model. Loves it.

>>738841219
Yes, no one know. And thats what engineering is about. You look into somehing that was never meant to happen. You solve why it happened and improve for the next time. You will never know anything. And engineering and advancements are about the progress and new discoveries rather than just repeating what has always been done.

>>738841681
The research that was done on the Comet effectively wrote the book on metal fatigue for the aircraft industry. And Boeing learned from it while de Havilland got swallowed up into British Aerospace as the British aviation industry gradually wound down (see earlier post re Avro Vulcan).

The UDSSR developed a supersonic jet with the Brits and French in Coorporation, but then broke up for some stupid reasons and the Concorde and TU 144 came out

None of them copied some stuff from the other

>>738842200
Badass.. I wish, now they only sell the bigger version which is difficult to fly without lots of space

>>738842419

Nope. The USSR obtained some of the Concorde plans through industrial espionage but there was zero cooperation.

XB-70 Valkyrie; six-engine, folding-delta wing bomber prototype that cruised at Mach 3. Only two were built. One was lost in an accident. Program killed off by John Fucking McNamara in favor of cheap ICBM's. The most beautiful flying machine ever built. Majestic. Last one is at the USAF museum in Dayton OH. Saw it as a child.
