Stuck on the Drawing Board | |||
| Unbuilt British Commercial Aircraft Since 1945 | Transport | |||
| Richard Payne | ||||
| Tempus 2004 256 pages | ||||
| Paperback Illustrated 0752431722 | ||||
| Published Price £19.99 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| Commercial vertical-take-off aircraft, a supersonic jetliner exceeding Mach 6 and a giant sea-plane capable of carrying 1,000 passengers and freight... These are just some of the remarkable but ill-starred projects in this account of what might have been. Illustrated with blueprint drawings and artists' impressions, it is a tribute to the designers' talent and ingenuity. It is also a condemnation of the short-sightedness and poor management that resulted in the decline of Britain's aircraft industry. | ||||
