2007 Glosteris meteoras buvo pirmasis britų reaktyvinis naikintuvas ir vienintelis sąjungininkų reaktyvinis lėktuvas, pasiekęs kovines operacijas Antrojo pasaulinio karo metu. "Meteor" plėtra labai priklausė nuo novatoriškų turboreaktyvinių variklių, kurių pradininkas buvo seras Frankas Whittle'as ir jo įmonė "Power Jets Ltd." Orlaivio kūrimas prasidėjo 1940 m., Nors darbas su varikliais vyko nuo 1936 m. Meteoras pirmą kartą skrido 1943 m. ir pradėjo veikti 1944 m. liepos 27 d. su Nr. 616 eskadrile RAF. Meteoras savo aerodinamikoje nebuvo sudėtingas orlaivis, bet pasirodė esąs sėkmingas kovinis kovotojas. "Gloster" 1946 m. civilinis "Meteor F.4" demonstrantas G-AIDC buvo pirmasis civilių registruotas reaktyvinis lėktuvas pasaulyje

The Refined First-Generation Jet
2007 Gloster Meteor F.4 was the first major post-war evolution of the UK’s (and the Allies’) only operational WWII jet fighter. While the earlier Mk.1 and Mk.3 models were pioneering but underpowered, the F.4 introduced the significantly more powerful Derwent 5 engines. This variant transformed the Meteor from a curiosity into a world-class interceptor, boasting a climb rate and top speed that briefly made it the fastest aircraft on the planet.

Design Innovations: Power and Stability
- The “Clipped” Wings: Early F.4s had long wings like the Mk.3, but the increased speed caused structural stress and heavy aileron control. Designers “clipped” the wingtips by nearly 3 feet each. This improved the roll rate and structural integrity, though it slightly increased the landing speed.
- Derwent 5 Engines: These were essentially scaled-down versions of the massive Nene engine. Their increased thrust allowed the Meteor F.4 to set two world speed records in 1945 and 1946, eventually reaching 616 mph in the famous “EE549” aircraft.
- Pressurized Cockpit: The F.4 was the first Meteor variant to offer a fully pressurized cockpit as standard, allowing pilots to operate comfortably at the high altitudes where jet engines are most efficient.
- Extended Engine Nacelles: To reduce aerodynamic drag at high speeds, the engine cowlings (nacelles) were lengthened. This “long-nacelle” look became the classic silhouette for the remainder of the Meteor’s production life.
Global Reach and Legacy
- Export Success: The F.4 was a massive export hit for Gloster. It served in the air forces of Argentina, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, the Netherlands, and Norway, making it one of the most widely used early jet fighters in the world.
- The Argentine Dispute: Argentina was a major operator of the F.4; their Meteors saw combat during internal uprisings in the 1950s, marking some of the earliest jet combat in South America.
- The T.7 Trainer: The F.4 airframe was so successful that it served as the basis for the Meteoras T.7, a two-seat trainer version that taught a generation of pilots how to handle the unique challenges of jet flight.
- Structural Limits: While incredibly fast for its time, the F.4 was still a straight-wing design. It suffered from “compressibility” issues as it approached the speed of sound, which eventually led to its replacement by swept-wing fighters like the Hawker Hunter.
