About: Short SB.5

An Entity of Type: Experimental aircraft, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Short SB.5 (serial WG768) was a "highly unorthodox, adjustable wing" British research aircraft designed by Short Brothers in response to the UK Air Ministry requirement ER.100; to provide input for the design of the English Electric P.1 (prototype of the English Electric Lightning) by testing the low speed flight characteristics of various configurations of wing-sweep required for supersonic flight. The tailplane could be mounted either on top of the fin ("T-tail") or below the fuselage. The tests ultimately confirmed that the original P.1/Lightning design was an effective configuration for high speed flight.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Short SB.5 war ein Experimentalflugzeug des britischen Herstellers Short Brothers. Es entstand aufgrund der Ausschreibung ER.100 des Air Ministry, um durch den Einsatz unterschiedlicher Tragflächenpfeilungswinkel neue Erkenntnisse zu den Langsamflugeigenschaften des geplanten Überschalljagdflugzeugs English Electric Lightning zu gewinnen. Das einzige gebaute Exemplar trug die RAF-Seriennummer WG768. (de)
