dbo:abstract
  • Das Rolls-Royce Thrust Measuring Rig (TMR) (deutsch: Schubmessgestell) war ein experimentelles VTOL-Luftfahrzeug aus den 1950er Jahren zur Erforschung der Verwendung von Strahltriebwerken zum Senkrechtstart und -landung und den Einsatz dieser Technik in einem Überschallflugzeug. In der zeitgenössischen Presse wurde das Schwebegestell wegen seines ungewöhnlichen Aussehens auch als Flying Bedstead (deutsch: Fliegendes Bettgestell) bezeichnet. (de)
  • Le « Rolls-Royce Thrust Measuring Rig », ou TMR (en français : « plateforme de mesure de la poussée »), était un aéronef pionnier dans la technologie des aéronefs à décollage et atterrissage verticaux (ADAV), développé par Rolls-Royce Limited au cours des années 1950. Le TMR utilisait deux turboréacteurs Nene montés dos-à-dos horizontalement à l'intérieur d'une structure-cage en acier, soutenue par quatre pattes dotées de roulettes. Le TMR ne possédait aucune surface portante (ailes, pales, etc.) et fut affectueusement surnommé par ses concepteurs « The Flying Bedstead », ou en français : « le sommier volant ». (fr)
  • The Rolls-Royce Thrust Measuring Rig (TMR), was a pioneering vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft developed by Rolls-Royce in the 1950s. It has the distinction of being "the first jet-lift aircraft to fly anywhere in the world". The design of the TMR is unique. It was powered by a pair of Nene turbojet engines, which were mounted back-to-back horizontally within a steel framework; in turn, this framework was raised upon four legs fitted with castors for wheels. The TMR lacked any lifting surfaces, such as wings; instead, lift was generated purely by the thrust being directed downwards. Due to its unconventional appearance, it was nicknamed the Flying Bedstead. The TMR had been envisioned specifically for conducting research, specifically to explore the potential applications of then-newly developed jet propulsion towards carrying out vertical flights. First flying in August 1954, extensive studies were conducted during a series of test flights into how stabilisation could be performed during the aircraft's hover. It contributed to a greater understanding of the level of power and appropriate manners of stabilisation involved in a VTOL aircraft, as well as proving the feasibility of the concept in general.
