RA490 modified by Westland Aircraft for jet deflection trials for the
RAE and NGTE. F.8 rear fuselage, FR.10 outer wing panels, NF.11 nose
undercarriage. Two R-R Nenes fitted in front of the main spar, plus jet
deflectors (just visible under the nacelles). Lowest airspeed achieved
with full deflection was an indicated 65 knots.
