EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the Fairey Stooge's maiden flight in 1947, marking a significant milestone in the development of pilotless, radio-controlled missile technology. The Fairey Stooge, also known as the RC.100, was the first British-designed and built unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or missile, predating the US's famous "BQM-34 Firebee" by a few years. Developed by the Fairey Aviation Company, this innovative aircraft was designed primarily for target towing and air-to-air target practice for RAF pilots during the post-World War II era. The Fairey Stooge was remotely controlled using radio waves, allowing it to mimic the behavior and flight characteristics of various enemy aircraft. Its lightweight construction, consisting of a wooden airframe covered in fabric, made it an ideal target for practicing interception techniques. The Fairey Stooge was powered by a simple, single-cylinder engine and had a wingspan of 12.2 meters (40 feet) and a length of 4.5 meters (14.8 feet). With a maximum speed of approximately 140 km/h (87 mph), it was capable of reaching altitudes of up to 3,000 meters (9,842 feet). Its advanced design and capabilities paved the way for future developments in UAV technology and their use in military applications. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of the Fairey Aviation Company and the significant role the Fairey Stooge played in the evolution of unmanned aerial systems. Its impact on military training and the development of modern military technology cannot be overstated.
