The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley was designed to specification B.3/34 for a heavy night bomber. Armstrong Whitworth A.W.41 Albemarle in the USSR Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle I: Initial bomber-reconnaissance version with BP powered dorsal turret carrying four 0.303-in (7.7-mm) Brownings and provision for two similar guns in retractable dorsal manual turret. Die Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley war ein zweimotoriger schwerer Bomber der britischen Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Company.Von März 1937 bis Februar 1946 wurde das Muster bei der Royal Air Force und der Fleet Air Arm eingesetzt. Ab 1940 flogen sie Nachtbomberangriffe gegen deutsche Städte und nahmen im August dieses Jahres am ersten Die Whitley wurde in Großbritannien nur bei Armstrong Whitworth gebaut.

The airliner was cancelled but research flying continued until 1954.
The result was a surface smooth to better than 2/1000 of an inch (50 The crew sat in tandem in a nacelle so that the pilot was just forward of the wing leading edge, providing a better view than in the glider. Following this incident, and in view of the disappointing results obtained, no further development of the flying-wing formula was undertaken by Armstrong Whitworth, who had now turned their attention to the more conventional A.W. The The first prototype flew on 13 November 1947 powered by two The first prototype crashed without loss of life on 30 May 1949, making it the first occasion of an On 30 May 1949, while diving the first prototype at 320 mph (515 km/h), test pilot As luck would have it, the aircraft, left to its own devices, stopped fluttering and glided down to land itself in open country with relatively little damage. The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.52 was a British flying wing aircraft design of the late 1940s for research into a proposed flying wing jet airliner.Three aircraft, the A.W.52G glider and two jet-powered research aircraft, were built for the programme. 78 Squadron RAF watch as engine adjustments are made to an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber, Z6743, before they take off for a raid from Middleton St George.

The wing tips carried small (not full chord) end-plate fin and Maintenance of laminar flow over the wings was vital to the design and so they were built with great attention to surface flatness. The A.W.52 was intended for high speeds and was an all-metal turbojet-powered aircraft, with a retractable undercarriage; aerodynamically it had much in common with the glider. 52 was handed over to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, where it was used for experimental flying until it was finally disposed of in June 1954.

The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley was one of three British twin-engine, front line medium bomber types in service with the Royal Air Force at the outbreak of the Second World War (the others were the Vickers Wellington and the Handley Page Hampden).

Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft was established as the Aerial Department of the Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth & Company engineering group in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1912, and from c. 1914 to 1917 employed the Dutch aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven (hence the "F.K."

Nach der militärischen Forderung im Jahr 1934 und der Bestellung im Juni 1935 startete der erste In der ersten Zeit des Krieges waren einige Whitley-Bomber an den Abwürfen von Propagandamaterial über deutschem Gebiet beteiligt. Fuel tanks in wing and centre fuselage. But its wing was characteristic of older designs: Large, very thick, and set at a high angle of incidence to keep landing speed low. Durch die charakteristischen Flugeigenschaften, bei der die Nase des Flugzeuges im Horizontalflug nach unten zeigte, war der Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley schon leicht zu identifizieren. It was a all-metal stressed-skin monoplane with retractable landing gear. The Whitley was a curious mix of the new and the old. Rather than the usual approach, where skinning is added to a structure defined by ribs, the A.W.52's wings were built in two halves (upper and lower) from the outside in, starting from pre-formed surfaces, adding stringers and ribs then joining the two halves together.
The Royal Air Force of the 1930s, Tunbridge Wells, 1995, S. 413 ff. Both aircraft were moderately-swept flying wings with a centre section having a straight trailing edge.
