Avro 707 Delta-Wing Research Aircraft Family
The Avro 707 family comprised one-third-scale tailless delta research aircraft built to give Avro practical flight data for the radical Avro 698 bomber that became the Vulcan. The small prototypes explored low-speed handling, intake arrangements, and pilot training across the 707, 707B, 707A, and two-seat 707C forms; their evidence helped turn a risky delta planform into a workable British V-bomber configuration.
