2007 Handley puslapis HP.115 buvo britų delta sparno tyrimų lėktuvas, kurį sukūrė Handley Page'as, norėdamas išbandyti mažo greičio valdymo charakteristikas, kurių galima tikėtis iš plonos delta konfigūracijos viršgarsinio lėktuvo. Tai buvo dalis Didžiosios Britanijos viršgarsinių orlaivių tyrimų programos, vykdytos 1960-aisiais ir remiamos Tiekimo ministerijos, kuri galiausiai pagamino "Concorde".

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.
