Armstrong Whitworth A.W.49


Recommended Posts

The design presented in 1942 by Armstrong Whitworth for a low level attack aircraft was to be powered by the Rolls Royce Merlin X or Napier Sabre IV. The single pilot was to have a good forward view for low level operations and the pusher reduced turbulence over the wings. It had a maximum speed of 355 mph at 3000 ft. and a range of 1010 miles on internal fuel. It also had laminar flow wings.
