The Fairey Delta 2 was a British supersonic research aircraft that had an even bigger nose than me. It first flew just 139 years after the Battle of Waterloo and was the first jet aircraft to pass 1,000 miles per hour in level flight. In 1956, just 409 years after the death of Henry VIII it set a world speed record by flying at a whopping 1,132 mph. #avpay #aviation #aircraft #pilotlife | AvPay.aero
