The INSANE 1950s British Nuclear Bomber With No Tail - Vickers Swallow
Wikipedia article: Vickers Swallow
The Vickers Swallow was a supersonic aircraft project headed by Barnes Wallis, working at the British aircraft company Vickers-Armstrongs. It was a wing controlled aerodyne, controlled in flight by movement of the entire wing, and was the supersonic successor to the Wild Goose project.
Several remotely piloted vehicles were built and flown for research purposes in addition to ground testing of static models. A conceptual full-scale aircraft was envisioned as a long distance airliner and, later on, as a potential supersonic successor to the Vickers Valiant, a subsonic V bomber then in service with the Royal Air Force. The project was cancelled in 1957 following the withdrawal of government backing.
