Tthe 핸들리 페이지 HP.115 는 가느다란 델타 구성의 초음속 여객기에서 기대되는 저속 핸들링 특성을 테스트하기 위해 Handley Page가 제작 한 영국 델타 윙 연구 항공기였습니다. 그것은 영국의 초음속 항공기 연구 프로그램의 일부를 형성했으며, 1960 년대에 수행되었으며 공급부가 후원하여 결국 콩코드를 생산했습니다.

General Characteristics and Role
The Handley Page HP.115 was a small, experimental British research aircraft built to investigate the flight characteristics of an extremely slender delta wing at low speeds. It was part of a major research program in the United Kingdom aimed at developing the supersonic transport—the eventual Concorde. The HP.115’s specific purpose was to determine the handling qualities and low-speed stability needed for landing the proposed supersonic airliner. The aircraft had a fixed tricycle undercarriage and a high-mounted engine. Only one prototype was ever built (serial number XP841). Although limited in speed and range, the HP.115 successfully completed its research objectives, logging nearly 400 flights before being retired.

Powerplant and Performance
- Engine: 1 x Bristol Siddeley Viper 9 turbojet engine.
- Thrust: 8.41 kN (1,890 lbf).
- Wing Sweep: Extremely slender delta wing with a 74.7° leading-edge sweep, which was the key experimental feature.
- Maximum Speed: Approx. 399 km/h (248 mph; 215 kn).
- Service Ceiling: 5,000 m (16,400 ft).
- Crucial Contribution: The flight data collected from the HP.115 was vital in confirming the stability and control characteristics that would be incorporated into the Concorde’s design.
Status and Legacy
- Testing Period: The HP.115 carried out research flights at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Bedford between 1961 and 1974.
- Retirement: The sole prototype was retired from flying in 1974.
- Preservation: The single Handley Page HP.115 is now preserved and on public display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset, UK.
