	Info and facts on 'Vickers VC-10'
		Vickers offered a version of the Type 1000 as the VC-7 (VC for Vickers Civil), carrying up to 120 passengers in two rows on either side of a central aisle.
		However Vickers' work on their VC-7 put them in the lead, and after carefully considering the routes, they offered a redesign as the VC-10.
		Only 57 were produced and the VC-10 is considered to be another failure of the British aerospace industry (additional info and facts about aerospace industry) to deliver aircraft that were interesting to any companies other than their national airline and allied operators.

	Airliners.net Articles: The Might-Have-Beens: Convair 880 and 990
		Delta Air Lines was the first airline to take delivery of an 880, the airline’s first ship setting a transcontinental speed record on its San Diego-to-Miami delivery flight on February 10, 1960.
		An added benefit of the pods was their easy adaptability as fuel tanks, and each pod was equipped with an aft fuel jettison nozzle for quick weight reduction in an emergency - which, combined with the earlier described features of the 990, made it an altogether oustanding jet.
		These were added to reduce the effect of the drag-inducing shock wave that develops as a lifting surface (the wing) moves at speeds between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.0, the speed of sound.

	Vickers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers was a pioneer in producing airliners, early examples being converted from Vimy bombers, and went on to manufacture the piston-engined Vickers VC.1 Viking airliner and Varsity military crew trainer, the Viscount and Vanguard turboprop airliners, and the stylish though noisy VC-10 jet airliner, which remains in RAF service as an aerial refuelling tanker.
		Vickers Sons and Maxim began work on a rigid airship for the British Admiralty in mid 1909 in a dock at Walney Island, Cumbria, sadly it disintegrated upon its second trip out of a floating hangar on the evening of 23 September 1911.
		Vickers was formed in Sheffield as a steel foundry in 1867.

	Vickers VC-10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers Armstrong had been working in-house in the early 1950s on a project known as Type 1000, essentially a civilian version of their Valiant V-bomber with enough range to cross the Atlantic.
		Vickers then offered a slightly smaller version to BEA for their longer European routes like London-Athens, the VC-11.
		Only 57 were produced and the VC-10 is considered to be another failure of the British aerospace industry to deliver aircraft that were interesting to many companies other than their national airline and allied operators.

		Nov 16 2003, 10:45 PM Hello, I was just surfing around and I found this plane, the Vickers VC-10.
		Regarding the VC10, yes BOAC and the RAF tanker version are #1 and #2 on my list...need to see if it is somehow possible to replace the KC10 in X-Plane...
		Nov 18 2003, 02:11 AM The VC10 is next on my list of aircraft once this one is released....

	Vickers Valiant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Valiant was Vickers last military aircraft, it was followed by the Vanguard, a passenger turboprop designed in 1959 and flying into the 1990s, and the Vickers VC-10, a jet passenger craft from 1962, though the latter did act as military transport for the RAF.
		Vickers also considered an air transport version of the Valiant, with a low-mounted wing, wingspan increased to 42.7 m (140 ft) from 34.8 m (114 ft 4 in), fuselage lengthened to 44.5 m (146 ft), and uprated engines.
		The Vickers Valiant was a British four-jet bomber, once part of the RAF's V bombers force.

		However, this was the swan song of the Victor, since the the Vickers VC.10 was gradually replacing it for tanker duties.
		* In the early 1960s, the Vickers Valiant was the RAF's platform for the strategic reconnaissance role, but the Valiant fleet was permanently grounded in 1964 due to structural fatigue problems.
		* In the 1950s, the British Royal Air Force (RAF) acquired a strategic nuclear strike force in the form of the "V-Bombers"-- the Vickers Valiant, the Handley-Page Victor, and the Avro Vulcan.

	Independent, The (London): Obituary: Sir George Edwards
		Among them, a prototype Viking was the world's first jet-powered transport aeroplane; the Viscount the world's first turbine-powered transport aircraft to go into commercial airline service; the Valiant the first of the British V- bombers; and the VC 10 the foremost long-range jet transport of its era.
		In all, 1,486 Vickers and BAC aircraft- from Vikings to One Elevens - were designed and built under Edwards's leadership (and several hundred remain in service) together with the collaboration Concordes, Jaguars and Tornados.
		He was quickly pulling his full weight as a member of the formidable Vickers Armstrongs aircraft team at Weybridge under McLean's chairmanship, with Hew Kilner as managing director, Tom Gammon as works manager, and Barnes Wallis on special projects.
