@AeroPaleo No they did not! Treated Warton like dirt and said yes to everything the ministry wanted. https://t.co/wvoCJ7Vv16 313 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Vickers are not happy with Avro. As I recall, they didn’t get on so well with English Electric, either. https://t.co/DOh0oU9h75

Peak Geek day today. Excellent excuse to take the fun car, a punt on there being space at the @UkNatArchives for a first time visit, and all of the #ColdWar jet knowledge I could eat. Enchanting… #avgeeks #aerodynamics https://t.co/1AcJweIKME

@AeroPaleo Ah the aerospike. Reminds me when I was doing studies on it through fluid dynamics and StarCCM+ CFD software, then launching our own small rocket with the spike I designed on it, reaching around Mach 1! https://t.co/iYwMCbd4mk

The shock was weak cf. that which would have occurred, while the recirculation directly reduced drag. The telescopic spike was around 50” long, extended by a solid propellant gas-generator. The #engineering challenges of locking and dynamic stability were non-trivial. 3/4 https:/

Adding a third stage in a restricted length could only be achieved by increasing volume near the top of the missile. This inevitably compromised the supersonic #aerodynamics. The ‘Aerospike’ was an ingenious solution, creating a detached shock, offset from the blunt nose. 2/4 htt

1977 saw the first test launch of the Trident I SLBM, a missile which increased range relative to the preceding Poseidon through the use of an additional, third stage. What is that sticking out of the nose? 1/4 https://t.co/bKmJnyRyeb
