	Royal Aircraft Establishment - Wikipedia
		Royal Aircraft Establishment war ein britisches Luftfahrt-Unternehmen, im Jahre 1995 aufgegangen in durch das britische Verteidigungsministerium neu gegründete Organisationen.
		Nach der erneuten Umbenennung in "Royal Aircraft Factory" ab 1912 widmete sich das Team rund um den Konstrukteur Harry P. Folland verstärkt dem Bau von Flugzeugen und entwickelte Muster, die in der Zeit des 1.
		April 1918 den Namen "Royal Air Force" und damit auch die Abkürzung RAF erhielt, wurde das Unternehmen erneut umbenannt, um eine Verwechslung zu vermeiden; man nannte sich nun "Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAe)".

	ninemsn Encarta - Military Aircraft
		From the first experiments with aircraft as observation platforms directing artillery fire, through the invention of aerial bombardment and the consequent need for air defence, to World War II’s strategic bombing offensive and eventually nuclear deterrence, air power has dictated the conduct of modern war.
		The early aircraft on both sides were mainly two-seaters carrying the pilot and an observer to spot the fall of artillery shells.
		However, despite up-to-date aircraft, the technology of bombsights and navigation was sadly lacking, and the night attacks tended to drop bombs over wide areas of Germany’s cities instead of precision targeting.

	RAE Ex-Apprentices Association - A Memoir from 1959
		The SE5 WW I fighter aircraft was designed at the Royal Aircraft Factory, later becoming the Royal Aircraft Establishment and later still the Royal Aerospace Establishment, by a team led by Henry Folland.
		The aircraft entered service with the Royal Flying Corps in 1917 and played an outstandingrole in the turbulent air-fighting over the Western Front in the first great War of the Air.
		If my memory is accurate the aircraft was damaged quite badly during landing sometime after the first rebuild and was subsequently rebuilt for a second time.

		The RAE was the only government establishment, apart from the NPL, to develop an important computing centre during the late 1940s.
		Princess Margaret visited RAE Farnborough soon after Deuce had been installed and a demonstration was arranged for her.
		To help her royal highness appreciate how this wondrous act was achieved with a mere £ 55,000 of government money, the doors to several bays were opened to reveal the racks of electronics inside.

		To test his theory he is using the spare tailplane of the Reindeer aircraft, oblivious of the fact that his work might have serious practical consequences.
		At the time "No Highway" was written RAE were indeed carrying out fatigue tests and there was debate about whether fatigue could be significant in aircraft [6].
		By the 1930's aircraft construction had changed to metal with the use of aluminium for the airframe and with thin aluminium panels used in place of fabric.

	Farnborough Hants - Horten Aircraft History
		Only one aircraft (the H IV sailplane) was discovered in the British sector in Germany in a condition suitable for transport to England for test flying.
		After the 1934 Rhön contest the first aircraft was scrapped and work started on the Horten II, which incorporated lessons learned on the previous H I. This was finished in May 1935 but could not be entered for the Rhon, so a 80 hp engine was fitted (Fig.
		Serious thought was also being given to supersonic aircraft and tentative steps in this direction were taken with the research designs H XIII and H X. In reviewing the Horten achievements one cannot help being impressed with the speed of their work and the utter irrelevance of much of it to the German war effort.

	FAST To The Rescue
		Farnborough lives on, but after 50 years of SBAC international air shows here, the skyline for spectators is changing, bricks and concrete evidence that the airfield's experimental military flying is over, and its onetime reputation as the world's premier center for aeronautical research and development now just a memory.
		But quick to the rescue comes FAST -- the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust -- with news that the Royal Aircraft Establishment's and the airfield's most recognizable buildings are to be saved as a major air and space sciences center.
		Its archives, of thousands of items including whole aircraft, engines, systems and components, already have national recognition and are currently housed in what will soon be the last remaining Royal Aircraft Factory building, the oldest purpose-built wind tunnel unit.

		Considerable research work on blind landing technology was conducted at Farnborough at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in the 1960s, and the addition of this important exhibit and attraction is highly appropriate for Farnborough's new aviation museum.
		The factory’s aircraft designs were mass produced in their thousands, the most outstanding aircraft being the SE 5A fighter, which was widely regarded as the best fighter of the period.

		Her report (Appendix II) showed that considerable development was necessary in control design but that the aircraft had some very good features, in particular the behavior at the stall was good and the longitudinal damping satisfactory.
		From the first the Horten brothers have been of the opinion that a pure flying wing is the most efficient form of aircraft and all their efforts have been directed towards achieving this ideal.
		On aircraft with narrow chord wings they have approached the pure wing as closely as possible by putting the pilot in the prone position.

	Rushmoor Borough Council - Hall Road, Building R52 (7x 4 Wind Tunnel) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Farnborough, now renamed the Royal Aircraft Establishment, now entered a new era for the site at the heart of cutting-edge developments in the aviation industry on the world stage.
		The Small Tunnels (as the tunnels in R52 were known) were used for aero-elasticity experiments, the testing of Mitchell’s Supermarine ‘S’ series of high-speed aircraft, for streamlining bomb shapes and their release characteristics and for the first supersonic tests (with high-speed aerofoils) in 1928.
		The construction of the 4 x 3ft tunnel, which achieved the ultimate reduction in turbulence (said to be lowest in the world) in order to facilitate high-precision testing, resulted from work in the 1930s on the measurement of drag flight.

	The Times: Obituaries:SIR JAMES LIGHTHILL
		While at Cambridge he met Nancy Dumaresq, a mathematician at Newnham, and when she began to work at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, he tried for a job there himself.
		He mentioned the possibility of a "dart-shaped" supersonic aircraft, and his work in wind-tunnels was to prove critical to the development of Concorde.
		In 1964 he became the Royal Society's resident professor at Imperial College, London, before returing to Trinity College, Cambridge, five years later as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a chair he held until 1979, when he was succeeded by Stephen Hawking.

		Following this success, Cody built a powered aircraft hoping to use the engine from the ill-fated Nulli Secundus II (in this he was disappointed, being forced to purchase a second Antoinette engine, and being evicted from the relatively well equipped airship shed).
		No official record exists of these flights, though both the RAE and the Science Museum were happy to perpetuate the myth at the time.
		Robert Oppenheimer, 'father of the atomic bomb', was publicly humiliated and disgraced for his refusal to work on the development of the hydrogen bomb, a decade later, at J F Kennedy's instigation, rehabilitated and honoured, with the award of the Enrico Fermi Prize by President Lyndon B Johnson.

		The BERP blade was the result of ten-years (1976-1986) of aerodynamic research collaboration between Westland Helicopters and the Royal Aircraft Establishment.
		The confidence that has since been established with the BERP blade means that this technology is now being applied to other helicopters.
		This latter attribute was obtained by radically increasing the sweep of the outermost part of the tip (the outer 2% approximately) to a value (70 degrees) where any significant angle of attack will cause leading edge flow separation.
