Changing technology – introduction
Here Ross and I will deal with the Meteor, the Vampire, and the development of the Canberra.
The questions we were thinking of for this step were:
-
The Meteor flew in the Second World War: over its piston-engined contemporaries, how much of a technological leap did the Meteor represent?
-
Compared to the ME262, were there innovations in the Meteor?
-
What was the logic in the development of the Vampire?
In these questions – which we go about attempting to answer in this video steps – we were looking to discuss some of the key aircraft which contributed to the technological changes in the RAF which were on display at the RAF Museums.
