FLIGHT, 28 December 1950 GEOMETRICAL PROGRESSION—THE DELTA-WING AVRO 707B > J3ERHAPS better than any photograph yet published, that above reveals the character of the Avro 707B research aircraft. Since its first flight on September 6th this dainty and immensely valuable little machine has completed more than a hundred flights in some twenty-five flying hours. On the left, the 707B is about to touch down, with W/C. R. J. Falk, who has been the pilot on all occasions to date, using the anti-spin parachute as an air brake. Evident in the view below is the sharp angle of attack assumed at landing when the braking-cum-anti-spin parachute is not used.
