EDITORS COMMENTS
WG774," was a groundbreaking aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). This sleek and innovative design, with its distinctive delta wing shape, was a significant step forward in aviation technology. The Bac 221 was designed to explore the potential of supersonic flight and push the boundaries of aeronautical engineering. In this photograph, we see the aircraft soaring through the sky, leaving a contrail in its wake. The powerful engines can be seen at the back of the plane, working tirelessly to propel it forward at supersonic speeds. The Bac 221 was an important precursor to the Concorde, the famous supersonic passenger jet that would later revolutionize air travel. However, unlike the Concorde, the Bac 221 was not designed for commercial use. Instead, it was a research and development project, aimed at advancing the understanding of supersonic flight and the challenges it presented. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the aeronautical engineers of the 1960s. It captures a moment in history when the impossible was being made possible, and the future of aviation was being redefined." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
