Three views of the new aeroplane known as the “Flying Wing,” an all-metal monoplane with a cabin built in in the middle of the wing. It seats fifteen passengers and has been designed for a top speed of 240 m.p.h. and a range of just under 2000 miles. There is no fuselage as in orthodox planes, booms connecting the tail with the wing. Top, the front of the plane. The cabin which accommodates the passengers is between the two Bristol-Perseus engines, with the pilot’s cabin above. Below, a rear view from inside the tail. Left, a view of the tail, showing the absence of fuselage. This is the first of the Cunliffe-Owen new-type monoplanes to be built in Britain.
