		Handley Page also paid for the development of what soon became known as the Handley Page Slat (or slot), a small channel cut into the leading edge of the wing to improve airflow at high angles of attack.
		In response to government request for heavier, longer ranged aircraft Handley Page produced the Halifax which after the Lancaster was the most prolific British heavy bomber, and considered by some to be to a superior aircraft.
		One of the final notable Handley Page designs was the Jetstream, this was a small commuter turboprop aircraft, with a pressurised cabin and a passenger capacity of 12 to 18.

		The Handley Page Aircraft Company was founded by Frederick Handley Page in 1909.
		During the First World War the company produced a series of bomber for the Royal Navy to bomb the German Zeppelin yards, with the ultimate intent of bombing Berlin in revenge for the Zeppelin attacks on London.
		With the spectre of the Second World War looming, Handley Page turned back to bomber design, and produced the Hampden, which took part in the first British raid on Berlin.

	Handley Page Jetstream
		The Handley Page Jetstream H.P.137 was a small twin turboprop airliner, with a pressurised fuselage, designed to meet the requirement of the United States feederline market.
		After the Handley Page Aircraft Company was wound-up, the design was continued to be produced by Scottish Aviation, who had been the primary sub-contractor to Handley Page on the aircraft, at its Prestwick factory.
		This allowed the aircraft to be offered in an 18 seat option (6 rows(2+1)), with a centre aisle, and the ability to operate at maximum load form a much greater range of airfields particularly in the continental United States and Australia.

	Handley Page, Frederick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		By the age of 21 he was chief designer of an electrical company, but in 1908 he set up as an aeronautical engineer and a year later, with a capital of £10,000, he established the first private British company of this kind, in Barking, Essex.
		Handley Page then turned to civil aviation, but found this not to be viable without government subsidies, and these were only to be had when the Handley Page airline merged with Imperial Airways, the forerunner of BOAC (now part of British Airways).
		During World War II Handley Page produced the Halifax, of which 7,000 were constructed.
