| BAe/HS-748 History |
| The maiden
flight of the Avro 748, G-APZV took place on 24th June 1960 from Woodford
Airfield and was piloted by Jimmy Harrison, the Avro Chief Test Pilot. The flight lasted 2 hours 41 minutes, which was a record duration for the first flight of a civil airliner at that time. The Indian Government showed an interest in the aircraft and even before the first test flight had taken place a manufacturing agreement had been signed for the aircraft to be built by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. in Kanpur ,India. The original 748 - the Series 1- was powered by Rolls Royce Dart 514 engines rated at 1600 shp. The second prototype G-ARAY first flew on 10th April 1961. The next version was, not surprisingly, the Series 2. This was powered by more powerful Dart engines the Dart 531 rated at 1910 shp giving the Series 2 the capability of carrying a greater load over a longer range. In 1963 the Hawker Siddeley Group decided to combine the names of the companies within the group into one and well known names like Gloster and A V Roe became known as Hawker Siddeley Aviation Ltd. The Avro 748 became the Hawker Siddeley 748 (HS748) overnight. By 1967 the Series 2A was introduced. This had more powerful engines fitted - the Rolls Royce Dart 532 which again improved the performance of the aircraft. Many operators subsequently upgraded their Series 2 aircraft to 2A standard by fitting replacement engines. In 1977 Hawker Siddeley and the British Aircraft Corporation merged into British Aerospace. The designation of the aircraft now became the British Aerospace 748 (BAe748). The final version of the 748 to be built was the Series 2B with even more powerful engines, the Dart 536-2. |
