This cutaway drawing offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of aviation innovation during the 1950s, showcasing the Saunders Roe SR-177, a groundbreaking experimental aircraft that was intended to revolutionize military aviation with its advanced design and capabilities. The Saunders Roe SR-177, also known as the Project P.177 or P.177 Jet Provost, was a mixed power, supersonic fighter interceptor, featuring both jet engines and rocket engines. This cutting-edge design was a response to the increasing need for high-performance aircraft capable of intercepting enemy planes at supersonic speeds.
