	Avro Vulcan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avro Vulcan was a British delta-wing subsonic bomber, operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 until 1984.
		The Vulcan was part of the RAF's V bomber force, which fulfilled the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
		Avro began scale prototype testing in 1948 with the single-seater Type 707, and despite the crash of the first prototype on 30 September 1949 work continued.

		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The Vulcan saw service as a conventional bomber and flight-refueller during the British campaign to recapture the Falkland Islands in 1982.
		The Royal Flight of the United Kingdom bought a few and a variant with a rear-loading ramp and a "kneeling" main undercarriage was sold to the RAF and several members of The Commonwealth as the Andover, named after a town in Hampshire.

	Avro 748 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avro 748 was a small short-range turboprop airliner designed by Avro in the late 1950s as a replacement for the now-aged DC-3's then in widespread service as feederliners.
		Avro concentrated on performance, notably for STOL operations, and found a dedicated market and 380 aircraft were built.
		Avro was not the only company to see the potential for a DC-3 replacement, and by this point the Fokker F27 Friendship was well advanced.

	Avro Vulcan
		The Avro Vulcan was a British built jet engined, delta-winged subsonic bomber, once part of the RAF's V bomber force.
		Five vulcans were chosen for the operation, their bomb bays were modified, the fuel systems replaced and the electronics updated.
		The Vulcan was used as test-beds for the Concorde engine.

		In all, 134 Vulcans were produced (45 B.1 and 89 B.2), the last being delivered to the RAF in January 1965.
		Vulcans were converted to a conventional bombing role in 1966, carrying 21 x 1000 lb (454 kg) bombs.
		The only combat missions involving the Vulcan took place in the 1982 Falklands War with Argentina, when a number of Vulcans flew the 3,380 nautical miles (6,300 km) from Ascension Island to Port Stanley to bomb the occupied airfield there with conventional bombs as Operation Black Buck.

		As from the middle of 1947 the aircraft was further designed under the designation Avro 698.
		The Vulcan was used only by the RAF, and its roles included nuclear deterrence, aerial refuelling, high- and low-altitude bombing, maritime reconnaissance, ECM, and later as an engine testbed for the Concorde.
		The Vulcan was replaced by the Panavia Tornado.

		Avro's chief designer, Roy Chadwick, designer of the Avro Manchester, Lancaster and Lincoln bombers, had already started work on the aircraft when it was realised the a jet powered bomber would be needed for the RAF.
		The Avro Vulcan B2 was an extensively developed version of the basic design, featuring a wing of reduced thickness/chord ratio with more pronounced compound sweepback on the leading edges and slightly swept trailing edges.

	AVRO VULCAN - HISTORY
		The Vulcan was designed in response to a specification issued in 1947; a four engined nuclear bomber was required as the growing menace of the Soviet Union made itself felt.
		The design was changed before the familiar Vulcan layout was settled on; fins on the wingtips became a single conventional fin, and the nose was extended along with the addition of a distinct fuselage section as opposed to the near-flying-wing idea originally envisaged.
		Vulcans would have been able to carry two, one under each wing, and many B.2s were built with suitable attachment points under their wings.

		To meet this challenge, Vickers, Avro, and Handley Page were each called upon to develop bombers for the Royal Air Force culminating in the Valiant, Vulcan, and Victor.
		Avro opted for a delta wing design in its model 698, the Vulcan, second of the triad to enter service.
		Instead of high-level operations carrying nuclear weapons, the Vulcan was adapted as a low-level conventional bomber carrying general purpose bombs and equipped with an array of advanced electronic countermeasures (ECM).

	Avro Vulcan
		The world's first delta-winged bomber to reach operational service, the Avro Vulcan was one of the cornerstones of Britain's nuclear deterrent during the height of the Cold War.
		The Avro 707 was intended to investigate the low and high speed characteristics of delta wings, for application to the 698 design.
		The remaining Vulcan B. Mk 2s were scheduled to receive Skybolt (a US-designed missile with a range of up to 1000 miles), but this programme was cancelled by the USA in December 1962, leaving the RAF without a Blue Steel replacement and facing the eventual demise of its nuclear deterrent role.

	Avro Vulcan Pictures and Information
		From the start, the Vulcan was laid out with a view to simple operation, both on the ground and in the air.
		The 707s were 1/3 scale research aircraft of the Avro 698, built between 1949 and 1953, for the Avro Vulcan.
		In particular the XH558 club at Bruntingthorpe and Vulcan Restoration Trust (VRT) in Southend are ground running their Vulcans with the hope of flying the aircraft again.

		The Vulcan had a delta wing and carried a crew of five--pilot and co-pilot seated side by side and the electronics officer, navigator and radar operator facing aft also seated side-by-side.
		Vulcans participated in the Falkland War of 1982 setting a record for the longest bombing mission (at that time).
		The Vulcan was withdrawn from service shortly after the war.

		Conceived by Avro's chief designer by Roy Chadwick, designer of the Lancaster, Lincoln and Shackleton, to the same 1947 specification that led to the earlier production of the Vickers Valiant and Handley Page Victor [Chadwick was killed in an air accident later that year].
		The first production Vulcan B.1 was delivered to No.230 Operational Conversion Unit at RAF Waddington in July 1956; it had been found that the outer sections of the delta wing could suffer from buffeting, so a kinked leading edge was now in place.
		On the first mission, sitting in the bomb bay of each of the two Vulcans were 21-1,000 lb bombs, over nine tons of high explosive, which, combined with the full fuel load, meant that both aircraft were over 2½ tons over their maximum weights.

	AVRO VULCAN - SURVIVORS
		The Vulcan's part in the NATO nuclear deterrent force meant that not only have Vulcans been preserved in the UK, four are also preserved on the North American continent; three in the U.S. and one in Canada.
		The Reigate Vulcan nose was from the B.1 and was known as XA909; however it is now thought to be either XA889, XA890 or, more likely, a nose section that never flew and never had an RAF serial.
		The Vulcan Restoration Trust's XL426 and The Vulcan 558 Club's XH558 are the only two Vulcans with any chance to fly again.

		By the late 1940s, Britain had begun work on what would eventually become the Avro 698 Vulcan bomber, a tailless, delta-winged jet aircraft.
		Ironically, while the flight characteristics of delta wings at high speeds were fairly well known at this time, how such a wing would perform at relatively low speeds -- such as during a low-level bombing run -- were still somewhat of a mystery.
		To get the data they needed to design the Vulcan, Avro aircraft built several smaller-scale delta wing prototypes, dubbed the Avro 707.

		Avro's chief designer, Roy Chadwick, designer of the Manchester, Lancaster and Lincoln bombers, started work even before issue of B14/46, when it was realised the a jet powered bomber would be needed.
		The Vulcan in its initial form was powered by four Avon R.A.3 engines of only 6,500lbs thrust, as the planned Bristol Olympus engines of 9,750lbs were not ready.
		Vulcans entered service with No.230 OCU at Waddington on 20 Jul 1956, and the first squadron, No.83, was declared operational on 11 Jul 1957.

		The Vickers Valiant was ordered because of concerns by the Government that the Avro 698 (Vulcan) and Handley-Page HP-80 (Victor) were so experimental that there may be development problems leading to dangerous delays/cost overruns.
		The Valiant was of a slightly simpler design and entered service in a year or two before the Vulcan B1.
		As much as I like the Vulcan and Victor, especially the B2s it seems in the end that it may have been a waste of money to have continued their development over the Valiant B2.

		The Avro 707 was therefore built to test the aerodynamics of the Avro Type 698 Vulcan, and five examples were constructed.
		After their use in the Vulcan project, one of the two Avro 707As was provided to the Royal Australian Air Force to conduct aeronautical research.
