GREAT BRITISH AIRCRAFT DVD
From the first aircraft they produced, to the impressive
array of military aircraft and bombers and the incredible
productions today the British have always played a very
important role in the aeronautic industry.
As early as 1912, British firm Vickers were experimenting
with machine gun carrying aircraft and it was World War I
when aircraft were used on such a large scale for the first
time. Skip forward to World War II and we had produced
incredible bomber planes such as the Hawker Hurricane
and Supermarine Spitfire.
1969 saw the first flight of Concorde, a turbojet-powered
supersonic passenger airline enter service. It was
developed by British Aircraft Corporation & Aérospatiale
under an Anglo-French treaty.
With the advances in technology, we are now in the
designers’ golden age and witness the production of
incredible engineering feats such as the Airbus A380, a double
deck wide body four engine jet airliner jointly developed by
European countries including the United Kingdom.
