Silent raider The design team envisage the commando ekranoplan would use hybrid-electric propulsion. As well as being eco-friendly, it would also allow the craft to switch to silent battery mode in the last phase of flight − to sneak up on enemy-held coastlines with ultra stealth. The ekranoplan would have a range of around 100nm. W DEFENCE Commando ekranoplan In a vision of future military opeations, a team of 15 the UK's best young engineers from UK Naval Engineering Science and Technology forum (UKNEST) were tasked to imagine the equipment and weapons of the Royal Marines in 2050. This included hi-tech suits, with jump packs, rail guns and 'grunt' drones. To replace today's landing craft and helicopters for an amphibious assault in 2050, the team gravitated towards designing high-speed (300kt) wing-in-ground-effect (WIG) vehicles, explained one of the team members, Eirini Trivyza, a naval architect from Babcock International. The craft would be able to deploy long-distances over the horizon from the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier mothership to stealthily penetrate hostile enemy defences and deliver Royal Marines to the target. 4 AEROSPACE / OCTOBER 2019 Neural-netted escorts The ekranoplan landing craft would be escorted by autonomous escort drones - linked by a neural network command system.

News roundup from DSEI exhibition DEFENCE Italy partners on MBDA shows off future concepts Tempest The biggest news in the air sector from this year’s DSEI defence exhibition, saw Italy sign up to partner on the UK's Team Tempest future combat air systems programme. Signing a government-to-government statement of intent on 10 September, Italy became the second nation (after Sweden in July) to agree to co-operate on the Tempest ‘sixth generation’ combat aircraft project. The governmental signing was followed by an industrial agreement − involving Italian companies Avio Aero, Elettronica, Leonardo and MBDA Italy. Italian aerospace and defence group Leonardo is already a key part of Team Tempest via its UK radar, sensors and defensive aids division.

  • Finding XH 903 – 33 Squadron's Gloster Javelin at the Jet Age Museum
    Finding XH 903 – 33 Squadron’s Gloster Javelin at the Jet Age Museum Gloucestershire Airport, Saturday 4 August 2018 On a very hot Saturday afternoon last weekend, thus the relaxed but appropriate ‘Hart’s Head’ attire worn in some of the following photographs, I paid a visit to the excellent and informative Jet Age Museum at Gloucestershire Airport to investigate the story of the Gloster Javelin bearing 33 Squadron colours that appeared in the recent ‘Loyalty’ newsletter. Accompanied by close friend George Philp, a retired Squadron Leader, my Crewman Leader in Germany while I was on the other squadron, keen aviation buff and a member of the Jet Age Museum, we received a very friendly welcome from the staff at the front desk and all of the guides in the Display Hall, especially as the reason for the visit became apparent. 33 Squadron flew the two seat Javelin, Britain’s first delta wing all-weather fighter, in the Cold War-era between July 1958 and November 1962. The Javelin was equipped with interception radar, had an operational ceiling of 52 000 feet (almost 16 000 metres) and a speed of more than 700 mph (1 130 km/h). Armed with four 30mm cannons and, later, four Firestreak missiles it was built to intercept Russian bombers. Javelin first flew on 26 November 1951 and Gloster and its sister company, Armstrong Whitworth, would go on to build 435 aircraft for the RAF. Unfortunately, the Javelin was the last aircraft type that Gloster would produce and in 1963 the Gloster name disappeared completely from the list of British aircraft manufacturers as a result of the 1957 White Paper on Defence produced by Minister of Defence Duncan Sandys, in which, to counter the growing Soviet ballistic missile threat, he proposed a radical shift away from manned fighter aircraft in favour of missile technology, along with a rationalisation of the British military aircraft and engine industry.
