"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... "Spiv" wrote in message ... Read what I wrote about the Brabazon 1 Do you mean this: "The Brabazon 1 had a pressurised cabin, hydraulic power units to operate the giant control surfaces, the first with 100% powered flying controls, the first with electric engine controls, the first with high-pressure hydraulics, and the first with AC electrics." Looks like a slightly modified copy-and-paste from http://unrealaircraft.com/content.php?page=c_brab to me. It doesn't look like your writing, not a single word is misspelled. Brabazon was a project of three. Two were made, one never. Only one Brabazon was made. The Britannia was a Brabazon phase, so was the Comet. That makes two types with many planes. Brabazon was pioneering and set the pattern for all others in most ways. If the Brabazon set the pattern why is it no airline ever operated an aircraft similar to the Brabazon? They did they adopted...........again..........sigh..........p ressurised cabin, hydraulic power units to operate control surfaces, 100% powered flying controls, electric engine controls, high-pressure hydraulics and AC electrics. |

Bristol did manage to build more than one of them, but not by much. so was the Comet. The Type IV that resulted in the de Havilland Comet was supposed to be a high speed, limited capacity mailplane. That makes two types You appear to only know one additional type that resulted in hardware, if you try harder you might find out the Brabazon designs that could possibly be considered "success" stories. not worth much |

They did they adopted...........again..........sigh..........p ressurised cabin, The Boeing 307 had that ten years before the Brabazon. hydraulic power units to operate control surfaces, The Curtiss CW20 had that ten years before the Brabazon. |
