I'd already posted about how STOL airliners were fashion at the time of the genesis of the BAe-146 in the early 1970s (which at the time was still the Hawker Siddeley HS.146). I've already talked about jet augmentor wings and the Boeing/Aeritalia 751, what we have here is the BAC QSTOL, a design that is often mistaken as a predecessor design to the 146.⁣ ⁣ It's not connected to the BAe-146 at all. ⁣ ⁣ BAC was the result of the 1960 merger of Vickers, English Electric and Bristol Aircraft. The QSTOL proposal dates from *before* Hawker Siddeley merged with BAC in 1977 to form British Aerospace. ⁣ ⁣ BAC astutely realized that a practical #STOL airliner had to be quiet and simple. That mean jet augmentor wing technology was out. It was loud and complex, my prior post about the NASA Buffalo jet augmentor wing testbed had shown the limitations of that technology which the Boeing/Aeritalia 751 would have used. ⁣ ⁣ Simplicity also meant reliability in BAC's view. They also felt that an STOL optimized aircraft had a 25% higher operating cost than a conventional similarly sized jetliner, so the QSTOL's design was straightforward with no complex elements. The higher operating costs would be offset by being quieter and more reliable, allowing higher frequency of use, even at noise sensitive #airports. ⁣ ⁣ QSTOL was larger than the BAe-146, with seating up to 140 passengers but BAC was aiming for operations off 2000 foot runways using generous trailing edge flaps. Conceptually it was a lot more like the BAe-146 than the Boeing/Aeritallia 751. ⁣ ⁣ Like many other proposed STOL designs, QSTOL died quietly as a paper project in the wake of the 1973 Arab oil embargo as fuel prices skyrocketed. What airlines wanted was not capability but efficiency. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #instaplane ⁣ #BAESystems #BritishAerospace #BAe146 ⁣ ⁣ #BAC #BritishAircraftCorporation #QSTOL⁣ ⁣ #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #flight⁣ #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation https://www.instagram.com/p/CfDUyYWL7tv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The only flying YL-15 Scout in the world

N4770C is owned/operated by Keith Brunquist of Wasilla Alaska and is seen in the photo on departure day from EAA AirVentures Oshkosh at Wittman Regional Airport, Wisconsin. First flown on 13 July 1947, Boeing made only 12 production models of the airplane, which it tried—unsuccessfully—to get the U.S. Army to purchase as an observation aircraft. The aircraft were then transferred to the US Fish & Wildlife Agency in Alaska where they were utilized for various duties.
