Williams Type 422
Hi today i present to you the Williams Kittiwake, based on an abandoned project by Vickers-Supermarine.
Wiki:
The Williams Type 422 “Kittiwake” was a British Supersonic research aircraft from 1953 that never proceeded past the prototype stage.
The difficulty of achieving beyond Mach 1 flight was realised during the development of the Type 345, which led to Williams proposing the 422 with a swept wing that would reduce aerodynamic drag. It was built using aluminium alloy which limited the top speed, and the Air Ministry wanted a twin engine design in which alternative engines could readily be installed, and 422 development was abandoned. Lack of endurance was also cited as a problem. Only 1 prototype would be built and after its use would be put on display in 1962 at Camberwick Air Museum in North Wright.
