[The Question was as follows: To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in the light of the most recent Anglo-French discussions, they still regard the proposed variable-geometry aircraft as constituting both operationally and industrially the core of our long-term aircraft programme.] THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF PUBLIC BUILDING AND WORKS (LORD WINTERBOTTOM) My Lords, this project remains an important feature of our military and industrial programme. EARL JELLICOE My Lords, whilst thanking the noble Lord for his reply, might I observe that this project, which was described last year by the Government as the core of our long-term aircraft programme, has now become an "important feature" of it? May I, after that reflection, put two supplementaries to the noble Lord? Can he confirm newspaper reports that the date up to which either party can withdraw without notice from this project has been postponed from June, 1967, until January, 1969? Secondly, can he tell us anything about the prospects of German participation in this very important and very expensive project? LORD WINTERBOTTOM My Lords, I am able to answer the two supplementaries. Taking first the position

Sukhoi's first independent design was the SU-2. The Su-9 was one of a series of supersonic jet fighters. The Sukhoi Su-15 V/STOL fighter in flight. The Sukhoi Company The Sukhoi company has produced some of the most advanced Soviet jet fighters of all time. About half of Russia's current tactical air power is due to Sukhoi's contributions. The history of the Sukhoi company is closely associated with the life of Pavel Sukhoi, one of the greatest Soviet aircraft designers. Sukhoi, born in 1910, had a very uneven career characterized by two distinct phases. If, in the first part of his career, he was dogged by bad luck, he flourished enormously in his later days. Like many of his contemporaries such as Sergey Korolev, chief designer of the Soviet space program, Sukhoi served his apprenticeship under the famous Andrey Tupolev , the patriarch of the modern Soviet aviation industry. In the 1920s and 1930s, as a senior engineer working for Tupolev at TsAGI (the Central Aero-hydrodynamics Institute), the premiere Soviet aeronautics organization, Sukhoi designed several bombers and fighters. He also worked on a number of Tupolev designs including the ANT-31 (I-14), which was the first Soviet all-metal low-wing monoplane fighter with retractable undercarriage and an enclosed cockpit. His first truly independent design was the ANT-51 (Su-2), a ground-attack aircraft that entered service in 1940.

In June 1967, the name "Mirage" literally shot into prominence through newspaper headlines around the world. Israel's new Mirages were the spearhead of attack by the Israel Defence Force/Air Force in what has come to be known as the "Six-Day War." In capable hands, the French-produced Mirage proved what hitherto had been understood by knowledgeable aircraft engineers and military aviation specialists; in its class, the Mirage was and is par excellence. No military aircraft of the 1970s, emanating from Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, had a bigger or better reputation than Avions Marcel Dassault's Mirage. Yet, strangely enough, the Mirage materialized from one of aviation's less fruitful concepts the "light fighter" whose origins lay in the 1950s' Korean War where the Soviet-designed

The absolute first requirements were to get the aircraft off the ground, sustain it in flight for as long as the technology of the day would allow it, and to bring the aircraft (and its pilot and passengers) back safely to the ground. For these purposes, straight wings were sufficient. They generated the necessary amount of lift and stability for takeoff and flight. And since landings require a reduced speed from what is needed for takeoff and flight, they provided the air resistance and control necessary as the aircraft was slowed down for a landing. As time and technology progressed however, the desire to fly at greater and greater speeds also grew and the limitations of straight wings were becoming increasingly apparent.

Sukhoi originally planned to meet the new bomber requirement with its delta wing T-6 with four RD-36-35 auxiliary lift jets to improve takeoff performance. A T-6-1 prototype first flew on July 2, 1967, but the jet lift configuration was abandoned in favor of using swing-wings to achieve the desired field performance. Thus a variable geometry T-6-2IG prototype (without lift jets) flew for the first time on January 17, 1970. The T-6-2IG was adopted for production as the Su-24 and more than 900 have been built. The basic Su-24 was built in three variants, which NATO designated 'Fencer-A', 'Fencer-B', and 'Fencer-C'. The 'Fencer-A' first flew in late 1971 but served only in small numbers with a trials unit. The 'Fencer-B' was the first major production variant while the 'Fencer-C' had improved avionics.

Aircraft Graveyards Lost Classics - Boeing 2707-200 SST Whilst commercial jet transports began to enter service after World War 2, aiming for a supersonic airliner was a remote dream, until Convair developed their Mach 2 B-58 bomber. The dreams revived. Some studies proposed a B-28-like aircraft with a detachable passenger pod slung below it. Britain set up the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee in 1956, and in 1959 they favoured two main types of SST (supersonic transport). One was a radical Mach 1.2 transport with a double-kinked M-shaped wing plan, and the other was a longer range, larger Mach 1.8 aircraft, a slender delta design. These designs were considered to be about as far as such an aircraft could go with a traditional aluminium-alloy airframe. In the USA, steel sandwich structures were already being used. The XB-70 Valkyrie would use stainless steel, and the
