[edit] Summary

The Miles M52 - Built in 1943,designed to fly at 1000 miles per hour by Miles Aircraft to meet the perceived threat of a Nazi warplane. The project was cancelled by the British Government 3 months before it was due to fly, after they had given the designs to the United States of America. Many of the innovations in the design (such as fully moving tail control surfaces) appeared in the Bell x-1 and subsequent US experimental craft.
