The article shows a before and after picture and reported that "Mr. Roe endeavoured to turn sharply, but as a result of some recent modifications in the steering arrangements, found it impossible to rectify the tilting movement quickly enough, and this caused the machine to fall, damaging one of the planes."

Page 1 of 3 flickr froa,y-Ar-roOf Home The Tour Sign Up Explore Saunders-Roe 5R53 X0145 This unique airframe was a prototype interceptor aircraft of mixed jet and rocket propulsion developed for the RAF in the early 1950s. Although its performance was promising, the Soviet SAM threat and costs led to the project being cancelled after just 42 test flights. VVWII had demonstrated Nazi rocket-powered aircraft designed to counter strategic bombers with machines like the Messerschmitt Me 163 and Bachem Ba 349, which were capable of unparalleled rates-of-climb, enabling them (at least in theory) to rise to meet and intercept enemy bombers before they reached their targets. In May 1951, the Air Ministry sought a rocket-powered interceptor that could reach an altitude of 60,000 ft in 2.5 minutes. Two designs were selected for development, A V Roe's Avro 720 and Saunders-Roe's SR.53. The latter was a sleek aircraft with a sharply pointed nose, delta-like wing, and a T-tail. The jet and rocket exhausts were mounted one atop the other in the tail. The Avro 720 was abandoned by September 1953 but it was 1957 before the 5R53 flew, just a month after the infamous 1957 Defence White Paper outlining the government's plan to largely abandon piloted aircraft in favour of concentrating on missile development. At the same time, jet engine development had progressed a long way since the SR.53's initial design. Combined with the fact that improvements in radar had meant that any incoming bomber threat could be detected much earlier, the need for an SR.53 type had disappeared, and, unsurprisingly, the project was cancelled. One of the two SR.53 prototypes crashed during testing, but the survivor is preserved at the RAF Museum at Cosford in Staffordshire, and is seen above. The models in the foreground are designed for testing against radar to see how large a signature is produced.

Avro Type Register Avro Tyne 720 Single seat rocket propelled interceptor In April, 1952 A. V. Roe & Co Ltd completed a brochure I.P.B.42 to meet a Ministry of Supply design specification No F.124.T for a rocket propelled interceptor. It became known as the Type 720 and was a tail-less aircraft of delta wing plan form powered by a single Armstrong Siddeley "Screamer" or a de Havilland "Spectre" rocket motor. Later design study with additional power plant By January, 1954 a Ministry of Supply contract had been issued to A. V. Roe with detailed requirements contained in specification No.F.137D as finalised at the Advisory Design Conference held on June 17th 1953. The aircraft powered primarily by an Armstrong Siddeley Screamer rocket motor of 80001b static thrust which operates in liquid oxygen and kerosene, with water coolant and a Armstrong Siddeley Viper jet engine of 2,2001b sea level static thrust with reheat. The specification required a very rapid rate of climb and the time from rest to 60,000ft in less than 3 minutes. The endurance at this height of seven minutes cruise plus two minutes combat at Mach 0.95. Unique construction The Avro 720 was to be constructed almost entirely from honeycomb sandwich, giving a very light and stiff structure, which can be to the accurate contours necessary for high speed flight. Consisting of two relative thin alloy sheets separated and stabilised by an aluminium foil honeycomb to which they are bonded. Sandwich construction is particularly suited to large scale production by semi-skilled and un- skilled labour using relatively simple jigs and tools. The Government cancelled the contract in 1956 due to economic cut backs and the 720 never got airborne. http://www.avroheritage.com/index_files/page0007.htm 11/25/2009
