670 RIGHT International, 23 April 1964 Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (F.N.)—test bed for turbojet accessories Right, Fiat G.9I of the Italian National Aerobatic Team Feinmechanische powered flight control Master control unit of new Ferranti lightweight compass system HANOVER SHOW . . . RB.145 engines. Design and development of the lift/thrust engine system was handled largely by Rolls-Royce at Hucknall; two of the engines are fixed in the forward fuselage and the remainder are in swivelling double pods on the wing-tips. Fight development of the first aircraft, designated 101C XI, began on April 10 last year. The X2 aircraft has engines fitted with reheat, raising their thrust from 2,7501b to 3,7501b, and will be able to fly at supersonic speeds. EWR Siid have also developed a larger V/STOL tactical strike aircraft which, although designated VJ 101D, is of quite different design. It is powered by a combination of Rolls-Royce/MAN RB.153 propulsion turbo- fans with reheat and thrust deflection, and RB.162 pure lift units. The recent announce- ment of the selection of the FW1262 as the basis for a joint German/Italian V/STOL tactical aircraft to replace the Fiat G.91 may bring about termination of the VJ 101D programme.
