anglo french tsr2 (delta wing)
Posted by eatthis on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 5:05 AM

Although the tsr2 designs looked promising the uk government decided not to persue the project before it got off the drawing board due to cost.
the project was resurected as a joint anglo french agreement but the french were unhappy with the small wing area and demanded a redesign in this area.
unsurprisingly they put forward a delta design which was eventually accepted by the british under the proviso that they keep the blown control surface. the upshot of this was extremely short take off roll and larger payload and fuel.

Yeah- it looks pretty "Miragey".

After that Airfix kit came out, there were lots of what-ifs with different services, I like the hack-job you did.

it does look quite alot like a mirage iv (about 25% bigger though) but the wing didnt come from a mirage

if you get a chance to get upto Cosford Museum, the TSR2 is mind-blowing, so far ahead of it's time.

Very cool Eatthis, no idea where the wing came from but it looks so natural there it seems like something that should have been built- nice idea and work there!

Nice whiffer build! I'll take a guess and say the wings came from a Mig-21 kit.
