  • Miles Sparrow Hawk
    Miles Sparrow Hawk In the first week of July, 1935, F. G. Miles decided to race for the King's Cup in the following September, even though at that point there was no machine available for him, and with only eight weeks until the race, there was little time to produce a suitable aircraft!. However, in those few weeks Mrs. Miles devised and directed the construction of a racing aircraft which was both fast, manoeuvrable, and pleasing to the eye. First, a standard Hawk fuselage was taken from the production line and shortened by two feet, then standard Hawk outer wings were fitted direct to the fuselage, without the usual centre-section. Long range fuel tanks and a low, single-strut type undercarriage were next fitted, together with a standard Hawk tail, the job being rounded off with a 140 hp high compression Gipsy Major engine. With a highly polished cream and red finish, the machine was ready on time and was named the Sparrowhawk. The 1935 Race was flown over two courses, the first, on one day, being a circuit of Britain, while the second day's flying was over seven laps of a triangular course of 50 miles, both events starting and finishing at Hatfield. The first day's racing resolved itself into a thrilling duel between the only designer-pilots in the competition - F. G. Miles and Edgar Percival. Fifth man to leave Hatfield, Mr. Miles dead-heated for second place at the Glasgow control and had achieved that position outright by the time he reached Belfast, which was the only point at which he had to refuel, thanks to the long-range tanks.

    SPRING 2016 INDUSTRY STUDY FINAL REPORT AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY STUDY 2016 ABSTRACT: The 2016 Eisenhower School Aircraft Industry team analyzed the European military aircraft industrial sector and assessed emerging implications for the United States (U.S.) government and the Department of Defense (DOD). The team conducted research using a variety of methods consisting of a guest lecture series, visits to key domestic and international defense firms, and independent research. For this study, the European military aircraft industry was divided by market segment namely; fighter aircraft, transport, and rotorcraft. The team evaluated each market segment based on their development, production, and exportability leading to insights on current and emerging trends involving European and transatlantic collaboration. Based on this analysis, the group identified opportunities and challenges regarding the participation of U.S. firms in the industrial dynamics of each market segment and emerging implications for the U.S. government and DOD.
