Avro 707

The Avro 707 (also known as Type 707) was a British experimental aircraft built to test the tailess thick delta wing configuration chosen for the Avro 698 jet bomber later named the Vulcan. In particular the low-speed characteristics of such aircraft were not well known at the time. Aerodynamically it was a ⅓-scale version of the Vulcan.

After proving the design with the Avro 707 in 1949, the prototype Vulcan B1, fitted with Olympus engines, first flew on 30 August 1952.1

Several scale aircraft, designated Avro 707, were produced to test and refine the delta wing design principles. The Vulcan B.24
The Avro 707 was designed for research purposes with the intention of eventually using them as jet trainers, to provide pilots with experience of handling a delta-winged aircraft 25
thus, the small-scale Avro 707 was produced to test the principles of the design. In flight, the Vulcan was an agile aircraft for its size.26
