	Unreal Aircraft - Lost Classics - Bristol Brabazon
		The 1943 committee reccommended upon a number of aircraft categories, one of which was, for the time, a challenge.
		When the Brabazon Committee's intercontinental airliner was proposed, however, the work already done by Bristol late in WW2 on their heavy bomber design led to them being given an order for two prototypes, to be followed by a possible ten production aircraft.
		The Brabazon was the first aircraft with 100% powered flying controls, the first with electric engine controls, the first with high-pressure hydraulics, and the first with AC electrics.

		The Bristol Type 167 Brabazon was a huge airliner built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1949 to fly a large number of passengers on transatlantic routes from England to the United States.
		The Brabazon was the first aircraft with 100% powered flying controls, the first with electric engine controls, the first with high-pressure hydraulics, and the first with AC electrics.
		Although considered a failure and a white elephant, the record on the Brabazon is not at all unfavourable.

		The Brabazon Committee studied a number of designs and technical considerations, and delivered a report calling for the construction of four general designs they had studied along with members of BOAC and BEA.
		Added at the personal urging of one of the committee members, Geoffrey de Havilland, the Type IV could, if the whole concept of a jet airliner could be made to work, be able to replace the Type III outright, and many of the duties of the other planes in shorter routes.
		The committee published versions of the report several times between August 1943 and November 1945, each time further solidifying one of the types.

	Bristol Brabazon
		Only a year later the Brabazon Report was published and Bristol was able to respond with a slightly modified version of their bomber to fill the needs for the Type I requirement.
		Their earlier work was exactly the sort of performance the Brabazon committee was looking for, and they were given a contract for two prototype aircraft.
		Although considered a failure and a white elephant, the record on the Brabazon is not at all unfavourable.

		In addition, the Committee proposed as a stop gap measure, that wartime bomber designs were to be converted for civilian operations.
		The recommendations of the Committee were generally accepted by the government and detailed draft specifications were called for.
		In it's discussions with the Brabazon Committee, and the Ministry of Aviation, BOAC [British Overseas Airways Corporation] considered the Type IV proposal and based on that indicated that it would probably require about twenty five aeroplanes.

		The basis of the Bristol Brabazon was the 1941-'42 design work already done on a projected 100-ton bomber that, to reduce the considerable drag imposed by four engine nacelles, called for engines to be buried within the wings.
		The fact that the Brabazon was able to lift off at less than 100mph indicated airspeed and after a 1,500-foot run was due entirely to the fact that it was an empty, unfurnished shell with minimum fuel and had little to do with the thick wing.
		As for the remark that the airline's choice lay between the Brabazon and smaller aircraft carrying the same number of souls, just remember that the Brabazon was in the "Queen Mary of the Air" bracket, with a proposed degree of comfort and luxury not possible in the smaller, ex-wartime aircraft.

	Airspeed Ambassador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Airspeed Ambassador was a twin piston engined airliner that first flew on July 10, 1947 and served in very small numbers through the 1950s.
		It had its origin in 1943 as a requirement identified by the Brabazon Committee for a twin-engined, short to medium-haul DC-3 replacement.
		Airspeed Ltd was asked to prepare an unpressurized design in the 14.5 tonne gross weight class using two Bristol Hercules radials.

		Known as the Brabazon Committee, their task was to evaluate civil transport aircraft and advise on what sort Britain would need after the war.
		Unfortunately, the committee became known for some rather spectacular failures that tended overshadow some of the successful designs that resulted from their studies.
		One of these successful designs was the de Havilland DH104 Dove, developed to specification 26/46 of the Brabazon committee and intended as a small eleven-seat domestic feeder airliner and replacement for the DH89 Dragon Rapide.

		I am pleased to report to the Committee that the prosecuting authorities consider that the dual criminality provision, as expressed in the amendments, would give rise to no significant difficulties in the prosecution of offenders.
		I wonder whether it might be for the convenience of the Committee if we discussed the two amendments that are amendments to my amendments and then had one debate on the amendments to my amendments and my group of amendments.
		In tabling this amendment and addressing the Committee on it, I was trying to find a position between the Bill as introduced by my noble friend Lord Brabazon and the position that my noble friend the Minister has taken in her amendments.

		Conceived in the Second World War as one of a number of air transport types the English Government's Brabazon Committee believed would be needed when peace returned, the Viscount was to become the most widely built British airliner to date.
		In 1944, when the committee first approached Vickers Armstrong about the possibility of exploiting the new turboprop technology in an airliner for European services the company was already considering how to replace its Viking.
		What eventually emerged were two projects - the Brabazon IIA became the piston-engined Airspeed Ambassador and the IIB led to the Vickers VC2 Viscount.

		In December 1942 the first of two 'Brabazon Committees' began their work to evaluate and advise on what types of aircraft Britain would need for civil transport after the war.
		The Brabazon Committee was concerned that transatlantic capability did not seem realistic with the current thirsty, inefficient state of contemporary jet engines.
		The Hatfield based firm were committed to powering the Brabazon Committee Type IV, now designated DH 106, with a prime mover designed 'in house' by their own engine genius Frank Halford.

		Great Britain, after some careful but misguided analysis by the Brabazon Committee, which met during the war to plan postwar development of commercial aviation, countered by plunging into the development of jet-powered commercial airliners.
		Two other efforts inspired by the Brabazon recommendations—the Saro Princess and the Bristol Brabazon, an ambitious attempt at creating a huge turbojet that had to be abandoned after eight years of fruitless development—were not as fortunate.
		The problem seems to have been that the Brabazon Committee tried to guess what the market would be like a decade hence and to plan accordingly.

		While Britain was still fighting World War II it set up a committee under Lord Brabazon of Tara to determine which types of civil aircraft the country would need after the war.
		The committee came up with specifications for a range of planes, including a jet mailplane that would eventually emerge as the de Havilland Comet, the first jet passenger plane.
		But it was the Brabazon that had the closest connection to the A380 because it was built at Filton in the west of England.

	Airliners.net: Vickers Viscount
		The Viscount was one of the results of the UK's wartime Brabazon Committee, which was set up to define requirements for British postwar commercial aircraft.
		Discussions between the committee and Vickers designers in late 1944, who had already been working on the VC-1 Viking airliner development of the Wellington bomber, resulted in what was eventually to become the Viscount.
		The committee's requirement was for a 24 seat 1000 mile (1600km/868nm) range airliner, and by the end of 1945 Vickers had selected the Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engine that was then under development to power the new aircraft.

	Re: Which aircraft will live in history forever?
		course the Bristol Brittania The Britannia wasn't designed and built to meet the Brabazon Committee Type III (it was the only type that didn't generate an "airframe").
		And the two aircraft that can be considered commercial successes from those committee meetings were the Vickers Viscount (Type IIB) and de Havilland Dove (Type VB).
		A committee specification that resulted in two commercial successes out of seven sounds like the committee was a lot better at its job than history reports (its always the Bristol Brabazon that gets the headline).

	Station Information - Vickers Viscount
		It was particularily well liked by the passengers, as it was quiet, vibration free, and had much larger windows than those found on more modern airliners.
		The original design resulted from the Brabazon Committee's Type IIB design, calling for a smaller medium-range turboprop-powered pressurized aircraft to fly it's less-travelled routes, carrying 24 passengers up to 1,750 miles at 200mph.
		British European Airways (BEA) was involved in the design and asked that the plane carry 32 passengers instead, but remained otherwise similar.
