I’ve been really getting into this guy’s YouTube channel lately and this morning came across this obscure one-off Blackburn:
What I think is fascinating about it is they never flew it. Not once. Blackburn got busy doing other programs and while not directly stated I think it was recognized that technology had passed this one.
In my view the big take-away for the layman is that test flying is a complicated thing and goes well beyond just finding a pilot and going for it.
