	Royal Aircraft Factory BE2b airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums
		The BE2b evolved from earlier aircraft after a great deal of experimental work by the government-owned Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough and proved to be one of the first practical aircraft supplied to the Royal Flying Corps.
		The BE2b was the outcome of further design work by the Royal Aircraft Factory on the earlier BE2a version.
		It is impossible to say how many BE2, 2a and 2b aircraft were built because of the early practice of rebuilding damaged aircraft but it is thought to be in the order of 150.

	Military Aircraft - MSN Encarta
		The early aircraft on both sides were mainly two-seaters carrying the pilot and an observer to spot the fall of artillery shells.
		The RAF rapidly realized the need for heavy bombers to replace the twin-engined Wellington and obsolete Hampden, and by 1943 three new four-engined bombers were in service: the underpowered, slow, Stirling, the workman-like Halifax, and the outstanding Lancaster.
		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.

	Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8
		The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 was a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War.
		Most R.E.8s were powered by the 150-hp (112 kW) Royal Aircraft Factory 4a air-cooled 12-cylinder inline engine though some received the 200-hp (149 kW) RAF 4d engine and others had a Hispano-Suiza engine.
		The R.E.8 equipped 18 Royal Flying Corps squadrons in 1917 and 19 squadrons in 1918.

	Royal Aircraft Factory BE2c Reconnaissance Scout
		It was powered by a 90 hp RAF 1a motor giving it a maximum speed of 116 mph at 1,980 m, and taking 45 minutes to reach 3,000 metres.
		It was, however, a radical improvement over it's predecessors with the addition of four ailerons, an enlarged rudder and the arrangement of the wings.
		The observer was moved to the rear position and given a machine gun, even though his use of it was greatly restricted as he had to remain seated.

	Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 and S.E.5a - Great Britain
		The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5/5a, rival of the Camel for the title of the most successful British fighter of the First World War, was designed by H. Folland, J. Kenworthy and Major F. Goodden.
		A Vickers gun fixed on the port side of the fuselage with its breech inside the cockpit, fired through the air screw by means of the Constantinesco synchronizing gear.
		It is significant that the S.E.5a was the aircraft of Mannock (seventy-three victories), Bishop (seventy-two), McCudden (fifty-seven) and Beauchamp-Proctor (fifty-four).

	More information about the WWI Scout BE2a
		The Factory, which is still in operation, was concerned with trying out new inventions in the aeronautical field, setting up new projects and evaluating prototypes submitted for possible procurement by the British armed forces.
		and the E meant 'Experimental.' Similarly the Royal Aircraft Factory gave birth and berth to the F.E. (Farman Experimental) and the S.E.1 (Santos Experimental), which had absolutely nothing in common with the Farmans and the Santos after which they were named.
		His work with the Royal Aircrah Factory quickly proved his extraordinary talents as he began to turn out designs for aircraft which were far ahead of their day and capable of outstanding performance.

	Military Aircraft from 1900 to 1919
		Such was the air of wartime design for aircraft that many would only live to see service for a matter of months before being replaced by more powerful and deadly versions.
		Design and production of aircraft for military use would continue at war's end and would cause a boom in military spending for new and faster model capable of much more.
		Aircraft design during these two decades would still revolve around the tried and true fabric-covered skins with synchronized-firing machine guns in the monoplane or biplane designs.

	SE5
		RAF had been plagued by accusations and criticism prior to and during the early stages of World War One.
		With its inside contacts and special privileges, RAF was able to squeeze out competitors in several fields, principally in the recon and light bomber fields.
		At this, the RAF's design team achieved remarkable success, and the SE-5, and its successor the 5a, proved to be one of the great fighters of the war.

	Gloster Meteor Jet Fighter / Bomber - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		The Gloster Meteor was the first jet-powered aircraft to enter operational service for any air force in history.
		The twin engines had become a requirement of the aircraft as the thrust capabilities of a single turbojet at the time was insufficient to power any sort of aircraft - let alone a fighter.
		Royal Air Force Meteors were actually still in limited service as late as 1977, owing to the great legacy of the aircraft's design an flexibility of the airframe.

	BE2c
		The Royal Aircraft Factory used a crashed Bleriot machine as the starting point to eventually design a stable and easy to fly machine for scouting purposes.
		Furthermore, early versions were often used for early aircraft research, and this was carried on throughout the war with the B.E.2c machines, designated "X" aircraft, in various flight tests and experiments.
		From this perspective, the B.E. series aircraft were truly remarkable machines, having to suffer the indignity of soldiering on, crewed by brave men, long after the design was obsolete in a rapidly changing world.

	Airfoils
		The British government had performed some work at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) that led to a series of Royal Aircraft Factory (RAF—not to be confused with the Royal Air Force) airfoils.
		The first aircraft to use the laminar-flow airfoils for their low-drag qualities was North American's P-51 Mustang, and they are still used quite extensively today on many high-speed aircraft.
		But it is not uncommon to find aircraft in operation today that still use the NACA four-digit and five-digit airfoil sections developed in the 1930s and 1940s.

	The Aircraft of the Royal Aircraft Factory
		The aircraft produced by the R.A.F at Farnborough remain as some of the most misunderstood of WW1.
		The FE was kept in operational use up to the end of the war in the night-bombing role with No.100 Sqn RAF.
		It would appear that as well as changing aircraft, they also acquired the zig-zag marking from No.34 as seen here on A4267 after No.52 re-equipped with the RE8 in 1917.

	Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a model airplane am310
		With a secure place in aviation history as the airplane of ace Allied pilots that include William "Billy" Bishop, James McCudden, and Edward "Mick" Mannock, the S.E.5 was without doubt the most successful aircraft to emanate from the Royal Aircraft Factory.
		This airplane benefited from the fact that the designers ensured that it was easy to fly, a factor reflecting the minimal flying training that, because of the pressure of circumstance, was given to trainee pilots before they were posted to their squadrons.
		The S.E.5a was powered by one 200-hp Hispano-Suiza V-8 piston engine, giving the aircraft a maximum speed of 138 mph, service ceiling of 22,000 feet, and endurance of 3 hours.

	About Clifford Hugh Douglas
		Douglas never bore the title of economist; he would have considered this as an insult anyway because of the monument of errors, based on false premises, in economic teaching in universities.
		Some time after that, during the war, he was sent to the Farnborough Royal Aircraft Works, to sort out a muddle which the books of that institution had gotten into.
		It was not long before that he had remarked that, each week, the cost prices of the goods produced were greater than the income distributed in the form of wages and salaries.

	56 Squadron SE5a
		The first RFC Squadron fully equipped with the Royal Aircraft Factory's SE5/5a was the soon to be famous 56 Squadron.
		The SE5/5a was the best fighter the Royal Aircraft Factory produced during World War I. Together with the Sopwith Camel, it helped regain control of the air for the RFC/RAF during the last 18 months of the war.
		The wheel covers were provided on the sheet along with a lot of other decals for wheels, lifting arrows, etc. This sheet, combined with #144, Royal Aircraft Factory built aircraft, combine to allow the modeler to build almost any 56 Squadron SE5 or SE5a.
