	Martlet 4
		The Martlet 4 program began in the spring of 1965 with extensive parametric studies which showed that meaningful payloads could be launched into low Earth orbit from the 16 inch L86 HARP gun on the Barbados flight range using a full bore, 3 stage rocket vehicle.
		The development of the Martlet 4 rocket stages was a unique endeavour in the history of rocketry and it was the first time that anyone had attempted to develop such a large multi-stage gun-launchable rocket vehicle.
		The propellant charge developed for the Martlet 4 vehicle was considered to be the maximum charge practical for the 16 inch HARP guns and it would not have been possible to safely increase the quantity of propellant without endangering the safety of the gun.

		Martlet applied to court for an injunction in respect of the violent behaviour and were successful in obtaining a voluntary agreement preventing the major perpetrator from entering the block of flats.
		Martlet is aware of this and comfortable that this is a priority area for its residents.
		Martlet's aims and objectives are weak in the way it plans to move on from its five year promises to tenants, in that there is no planned maintenance programme on which it can consult for the period after 31 March 2006.

	Grumman Martlet Mk I - The Air Combat Wiki
		But in the air the Martlet, as it was called by the Fleet Air Arm, was a joy to fly.
		In flight trials at Boscombe Downs in 1940 the Martlet proved to be more maneuverable with a greater initial climb than either the Hurricane or Spitfire, with the two British designs owning an edge in speed.
		Martlets went on to serve the Royal Navy throughout the remainder of the war, particularly in the Mediterranean in 1942.

	Space Guns
		As the Martlet had a much smaller diameter than the cannon bore, it was fired using a snug-fitting "sabot", or shoe, that was discarded after the Martlet left the muzzle.
		Their Martlet 3 design was a discarding-sabot solid-propellant rocket with a diameter of 190 millimeters (7.5 inches), and was to be launched from a 406 millimeter gun.
		The Martlet 3 was to lead to the Martlet 4, which was to be a multistage cannon-launched rocket with a launch mass of 1.2 tonnes and a payload capacity of 90 kilograms to low Earth orbit (LEO); it would be given a muzzle velocity of 5,400 KPH.

	Curiosity Corner - 1
		In England the martlet tends to keep its beak, and the Scottish author of A System of Heraldry (published in 1722), Alexander Nisbet, stated that in England they kept their legs also, although these were very short..
		Martlets as charges are seldom seen alone, and might be said usually to appear in flocks, as here on the arms of the Beauchamp Lords of St Amand.
		Where a martlet appears alone, it is usually very small and is borne as a difference signifying a fourth son.

		Designed by Oxford University's Daniel Goodman, Martlet implements a functional programming model that lets you write parallel programs and analyze distributed data without having to be aware of the details of the parallelization.
		Martlet abstracts the parallelization of the computation and the splitting of the data via functional programming constructs that let programs be written as abstract descriptions that can be adjusted to match the data set and available resources automatically at runtime.
		Martlet has potential for use in many science applications which distribute data between servers in a similar way to climateprediction.net.

	Martlet 3E
		The Martlet 3E was initially designed to be launched at a velocity of 1200 m/sec (4000 ft/sec) from the HARP 7 inch guns with a 12 second ignition delay and a seven second rocket motor burn time.
		Most of the development flights of the Martlet 3E were conducted using surplus 155 mm smooth-bore guns (6.25 inch) in place of the 7 inch (7.17 inch actual bore diameter) guns.
		With the launch costs of the Martlet 3E in the same range as a Martlet 2 vehicles it was intended that once the 3E became operational it would replace the Martlet 2 as the primary atmospheric sounding vehicle for the HARP Program.

	The Martlet
		The martlet is a small bird, usually depicted without feet and (in some cases) without beak.

	Tamiya 1/48 Martlet
		A Martlet I of 804 Squadron became the first U.S. aircraft in British service to shoot down a German aircraft in the Second World War when a Ju-88A-4 was intercepted over Scapa Flow on November 27, 1940.
		The Martlet II, which was ordered directly for the Royal Navy, became the first folding wing Wildcat, and the first to carry an armament of six.50 caliber machine guns.
		The 220 Martlet IVs were the next aircraft built specifically for a British order; they were the equivalent of the U.S. Navy's F4F-4, with the exception that they were powered by a Wright GR-1829-G205A-3 Cyclone, rather than the Pratt and Whitney T-1830-86 Twin Wasp that was used in the F4F-4.

	British Royal Standards since 1042
		Edward the Confessor is described as having arms consisting of a cross surrounded by five martlets.
		The fifth martlet was added because when the charges were placed on a shield, the base looked a bit empty - this was when shields were still quite long and pointy, as they were in Norman times.
		The word martlet is used in English translation of similar birds (footless) that appear in French, Dutch and German arms, and the equivalents in those languages are frequently used for the English bird.

		Grumman produced 220 examples of the Martlet IV in 1942, but six were lost en route to Britain.
		This usually took the form of operating from an escort carrier attached to a convoy or a hunter-killer group.
		The six-gun armaments of the F4F-4, Martlet II, and Martlet IV were particularly effective in suppressing the anti-aircraft guns of the U-boats so that larger, slower bombers could more safely attack with depth bombs or homing torpedoes.

	Seagram Building reborn as Martlet House
		McGill's Senate Toponomy Subcommittee moved the Martlet House name from DAR's former Mountain Street mansion, now occupied by the Faculty of Medicine, since the Martlet marquee has stood above four alumni relations headquarters over 45 years.
		The Martlet designation was originally adopted from the three flying martlets featured on the university's coat of arms and a new sign should be posted on the Peel Street site within days.
		Wells is particularly happy the new Martlet House will house 100 full-and-part-time alumni and development staff previously scattered in several buildings: "We can now collaborate under one roof and we've gained a home at the heart of downtown that brings us closer to the Montreal community."

	The HARP Project and the Martlet
		The project was conducted in the 1960s by scientists of the McGill University in Montreal, who named their vehicle the "Martlet", an old name for the martin bird; the shield of the McGill University in Montreal displays three red martlets.
		The cannon which propelled the Martlet to the high atmosphere was the creation of Gerald Bull, a Canadian engineer who specialized in the design of cannon.
		To reduce air resistance, the 200-lb Martlet vehicle was given a smaller diameter than 16 inches, with wooden blocks filling the space between it and the barrel.

	British Aircraft--Martlet and Wildcat fighters
		Named "Martlet I" in British service, these 81 aircraft had originally been ordered by France and were taken over by the British after France surrendered.
		Powered by 1,240 horsepower Wright "Cyclone" radial engines, the first "Martlets" entered service in September 1940, and achieved the first "kill" for any American-built fighter in British service on Christmas day of that year, when a German Ju-88 was forced down near Scapa Flow.
		The later British "Martlets" and "Wildcats" were extensively used at sea, primarily based on escort carriers though some were also carried aboard fleet carriers.
