Hunting H126 research aircraft used to evaluate low speed jet flight. Speed as low as 32mph by virtue of jet flaps for ducting jet thrust for greater lift. Built at Luton and Bedford (Royal Aircraft Establishment). The nozzle system proved too complex and had an adverse affect on engine power so the jet flap was not pursued.
