Handley Page Manx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The H.P. 75 Manx was an experimental aircraft built by Handley Page during the mid 1940s. A tailless design of pusher configuration, it participated in a flight research program investigating problems associated with tailless aircraft. The partially-swept wings supported the vertical stabilizers of a twin tail, with elevons for pitch and roll control.
The main undercarriage was retractable, while the nose gear was fixed.
