The HP 115 is a Slim Delta research aircraft built by Handley Page Ltd. It was built to demonstrate the low speed handling characteristics to be expected from a supersonic airliner of slender configuration.

XP841 is currently on display in The Leading Edge Exhibition at The Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton.Website


[edit] Aerofoil Section

The aerofoil section is of modified bi-convex type with the maximum thickness at 40% of the chord. This section was chosen as being representative of the type likely to be adopted for a supersonic transport. It has favourable chordwise distribution of crosssectional area and hence a low wave drag in supersonic flight.
