About Armstrong Whitworth A. W. 52
The Armstrong Whitworth A. W. 52 was a British flying wing aircraft design of the late 1940s for research into a proposed flying wing jet airliner. Three aircraft, the A. W. 52G glider and two jet-powered research aircraft, were built for the programme. The airliner was cancelled but research flying continued until 1954.
