With a wingspan greater than a Boeing 747, The Bristol Brabazon was the largest aircraft ever built by Britain. More a flying oceanliner than plane, it featured sleeping cabins, a dining room, a cocktail bar and lounge, and even a 23 seat movie theater.
The Brabazon was also fitted with cutting edge innovations. A fully pressurized, air conditioned cabin. Electric engine controls, and high-pressure hydraulics to operate its massive control surfaces. It’s enormous wing housed more than 16 thousand gallons of fuel, and eight of the most powerful piston engines available. While the first Brabazon used piston engines, later Brabazon were to use turboprop engines that were being developed by Bristol.
The Bristol Brabazon would have true transatlantic capability. Able to fly non-stop from London to New York against prevailing eastern winds. In the 1940’s, this would have been quite the feat. Transatlantic flights were almost always done in stages to allow for refueling.
Despite introducing new innovations, many of which influenced the future of aviation, the Brabazon’s driving philosophy was outdated. The Brabazon’s mission was to compete with ocean liners for ultra-wealthy passengers. But this lumbering, super-sized airliner would have been introduced with airlines for 1950’s, right around when the first jet airliners, like the De Havilland Comet, were taking to the skies. Aircraft like the Dash 80, which would become the 707, were also just around the corner, and would bring a transatlantic crossing down to as little as 7 hours.
After a massive design and development effort, Britain found itself stuck with a plane nobody actually wanted, designed for an era that no longer existed.The program was cancelled and the Brabazon, and half finished turboprop successor were sold for their weight in scrap. #BristolBrabazon #BritishAviation #WhiteElephant #Airplanes

[@Prof.Megamind.thinks.about.it.]

This should have been the break-through jet , NOT the Comet . The Brabazon Committee should have modified the piston/prop design , into an in-wing turbojet design . Eight staggered pairs of the reliable RR.Nene/J-33 centrifugal-turbojet engine , at 5.5k.lbs thrust apiece , would have given this plane a takeoff thrust of almost 90k.lbs force , and a high-altitude top-speed of over 500mph . In 1948 the RR.Tay/J-48 (Nene derived) , (8.5k.lb.thrust w/water-injection) , became available , increasing possible Brabazon thrust to 130k.lbs.force . In addition to better servicing the passengers , the economics of prop-craft vs jet-craft would have ensured a healthy and continuous profit-margin . This could have given Britain total ownership of the post-war , long-haul market . Lack of vision costs , eh ? D.H.

It took them sitting for 20+ years for people to realize their historical value and need for preservation. Today, there are about 30 of them left. My point is that a failed program that has tied up resources for far too long, no one is thinking preservation. They are thinking 'get out from under it.'

A good deal of the engineering advances that went into the Brabazon were later incorporated into the Bristol Britannia. The Proteus engines being the major items, the final incarnation of the engines that were planned to go into the second Brabazon. The Britannia proved very popular with the charter airlines of the late 60's and early 70's, and passengers liked it for its comfort and quietness compared to the 737-100 and the BAC1-11 for example. The Britannia was in effect a much scaled down version of what the Brabazon could have been.

The Bristol Britannia would also later be used to develop the Canadair Argus, Canada’s premiere patrol bomber.

[@kubeckjay1137]

I flew Heathrow to Shannon on a Britannia in 1962. The first one developed engine trouble twice and BOAC ended up putting us all on a 2nd Britannia for a third and successful flight. It looked and felt like a great aircraft. Legroom in economy was tight, however, for my 6’4” frame; my knees were pressing into the seat back in front of me!

[@phbrinsden]

After many flights on turbocharged piston planes flying from Heathrow to Malaya in the early 50s I recall my first flight on the Britannia. It was so much faster, smoother and quieter. It was also spacious inside. Beautiful plane and such a step up from piston engines. In later years I flew the Comet and again another step up in quietness and smoothness. Luckily I just dodged the one that exploded due to window failure.

That thing could've rivaled a 747 in pure numbers--sure you wouldn't get there early, but with that many people funding your flight, you get what you pay for. Besides, if it already had that A/C system, that'd be fine to help out with the numbers.

The Boeing 707 entered service in 1959 with turbo jet engines by 1962 Boeing had improved it with JT3D Turbofan Engines and other refinements. All of those British aircraft that came out of Brabazon committee such as Brabazon, Comet, Viscount, Britannia were so late they were destroyed by the 707 and DC8. Only the viscount succeeded. Latter aircraft such as the VC10, Vanguard also missed the mark. So they all really needed to get into service by around 1950.

It is likely that had the roles been reversed the DC8 or 707 being first they would have suffered the same issues as the Comet as they design language of High Altitude aircraft changed because of the unforeseen endurance flaws in the comet.

[@Charioteer71]

The Brabazon was orignally an "100-ton" class strategic bomber designed in 1943 by Bristol and the 8 engines were put at the back of the wings (pushing) instead of conventional layout. The take-off weight of that bomber is 130 tons. And it could carry two 22,000lbs bombs, the "Grand Slam". Actually, the bomb load was 2 tons more than the US XB-36 design at the same time. (However, XB-36 evolved into B-36 but the Bristol "100-ton" became Brabazon.) By the way, the Brabazon could be call an 8-engined aircraft as well as a 4-engined aircraft. Two coupled Centaurus 57 engines made one Centaurus 20 engine in Bristol Company database. So, the Brabazon got 8 Centaurus 57 engines or 4 Centaurus 20 engines.

This is a fascinating video. My great-great uncle was Leslie George Frise, the chief designer who led the design team and worked with Frank Barnwell to design the Bristol Brabazon and many famous war planes like the Beaufighter. He also invented the Frise Aileron, which was used in many plane designs afterwards to improve adverse yaw and control. I am actually working on a university project to bring the Bristol Brabazon back to life; the aim is to use real footage I will take of the Filton runway while it is still there, then digitally recreate the plane in 3D and use VFX to integrate it with the footage. Leslie died in 1979, so I never got to meet him, but I have heard how dedicated to his work he was from my family. I am looking forward to honouring not only his legacy but also the legacy of British aviation and the integral role that the Filton Runway had when it was owned by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. I won't be finished with this project until December; I have a lot of research to do before I make a start. If anyone has any resources that you think could help, please let me know. I would really appreciate it.

[@SiVlog1989]

As a Brit myself, I find it interesting the number of times Britain looks back technically speaking, rather than forwards. A documentary about High Speed 1, HS1, the first purpose built High Speed Rail line in Britain, talked about how the Eurostar (the High Speed train that connects London to Paris, Brussels and (more recently) Amsterdam) "as soon as it emerges from the Channel Tunnel, the Eurostar shares tracks with 20th Century trains moving at 19th Century speeds," so rather than running at the full 186mph (300kph) they're capable of, on 25kv AC overhead wires, they (until 2007) ran on an outdated 750v DC third rail system with a top speed of 90mph and on the run to the original terminal at the London end at Waterloo, they'd barely reach 50mph and sometimes even barely move at walking pace seemingly

[@Mundo-bn2ho]

True, Britain has one if the worst railway in Europe. Spain' s and Italy's trains are fast, clean and elegant. And the fastest train in the UK is actually Italian technology.

[@SiVlog1989]

@Mundo 2024 part of the problem is that there seems to be in many places in Britain that when it comes to major infrastructure projects have a "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBY) mentality. Even from the early days of railways. One quote from the documentary "Ian Hislop Goes Off The Rails" mentions one of these mindsets from the time (1840's and 1850's): "Railways have set all the towns of Britain a-dancing. Reading is coming up to London, Basingstoke is going up from Gosport or Southampton, confusingly waltzing in a state of progressive disillusion and know not where the end of the death dance will be for them."

[@SiVlog1989]

@Mundo 2024 another example is in a one off documentary I'd recommend watching, "Ian Hislop Goes Off The Rails," there was one point in that, while watching an old Newsreel of a streamlined train running between London and Newcastle that claimed it was "keeping up the prestige of Britain's railways," but as Ian Hislop himself noted, it wasn't really the case: "By the 1930's British steam trains were smashing International Records. It looked wonderful, it looked like progress, but sadly, it was exactly the opposite. While we were still in love with steam [as a form of traction], other countries were already heavily investing in really modern technology, like high speed diesel and electric traction,"

[@dhtelevision]

FINALLY, THE BRISTOL BRABAZON, The Brabazon was basically the British stratocruiser

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

Except the Stratocruiser was pretty successful technically and commercially.

[@martentrudeau6948]

Soviets liked British engineering a lot, like Rolls-Royce jet engines they copied, the Concorde they stole and much more than that. The Brits should have been the first to fly super sonic, but they gave the flying tail technology to America, stopped funding their own super sonic program which would have been the first and allowed the Americans to be first. It's mysterious as to what is going on, but when given the opportunity Britons are world beaters.

[@jimandmandy]

Technically, yes, commercially not as much. It was still too big and luxurious with a bar/lounge below, dressing rooms, a private compartment in some configurations and way less than 100 seats. The Douglas DC-6/7 and Lockheed Constellation hit the sweet spot for commercial propliner success.

[@martentrudeau6948]

Designed during WW2 with piston engines the Boeing Stratocruiser, Douglas DC-6/7 and Lockheed Constellation made sense, where as the Brabazon made after the war made no sense, it's designed to be an ocean liner in the sky with a low seating capacity, and shouldn't have had piston engines. Speed and seating capacity should have been the primary design goals, Briton was the first to have jets and turboprops, there was no reason why it wasn't 100+ mph faster and have a higher seating capacity. Other than that, it was still a good looking airliner.

[@die1mayer]

Maybe they should have gone the opposite direction, no fluff and squish 300+ seats into that thing. Then the Brabazon could have competed with low ticket prices against the early jets.

[@StefanMochnacki]

The Bristol Britannia took its place, but it, too, was much delayed, and although it went into service, it was soon done in by the jets. However, had large turboprops been perfected in time, the Brabazon could have been useful. The Soviets developed the Tu-114 from the Tu-95 bomber, and it was very big, fast, very noisy and quite safe. The American B-36 bomber was perhaps nearest to the Brabazon as an aircraft concept, but it was well powered with "six turning, four burning".

[@lardyify]

The problem, as nearly always with very large aircraft of the piston engine era, is engine power. Modern aircraft that use horse power to measure engine output require about 1 horse power for every ten pounds of weight, in the old imperial system. A Brabazon-sized aircraft would therefore need around 29,000 HP to give decent performance. The eight Centaurus engines actually provided about 20,000 HP. Any wonder it was a lumbering beast requiring most of the runway to take off. There were other very large aircraft around at about the same time in America: the Giant Convair XC99 weighing in at 320,000 lbs with six Pratt and Whitney Wasp Major engines and the Lockheed Constitution, a relative lightweight at 250,000 lbs powered by four Wasp Majors. The Wasp Major was the most powerful piston engine ever mass produced with 28 cylinders and 56 spark plugs. Developed versions of this engine achieved 4300 HP. By comparison, a Boeing 777 has two engines of 100,000 lbs thrust each, or approximately 25,000 thrust equivalent horse power (TEHP) each for a total of 50,000 TEHP. That’s why a 777 can easily take off on one engine while the lost of an engine (or a gearbox) on take off for a Brabazon would be catastrophic.

[@hafmaint7557]

I watched this fly over Cardiff my home town when I was 12 years old thanks for the video

[@WolfeSaber]

An idea that could have saved the Brabazon could have been to replace the piston engines and props with jet engines direct, not turboprops. Looking at the stats for both the Brabazon and the Comet, eight to twelve jets could have got the giant plane off the ground, and may fly at higher speeds too. The range might decrease, but the jumbo might be able to reach New York in the first models.

@i. rob Boeing have committed the cardinal sin of an aircraft manufacturer. Killing their passengers due to planes that are not safe is a sure fire way of destroying a manufacturer. You would think that Boeing would have known this after the Comet saga. After I heard this come out, I changed my travel plans accordingly. I certainly would not let my kids fly on an aircraft where the company have been shown to cover up serious flaws. If I owned Boeing I would sack every manager at the company. I would also sack every engineer that was even remotlley involved in this incident. I would then replace the engines on the 737 max with ones that actually fit under the aircraft with the idea of scrapping this plane as soon as it's affordable to do so. I would hope that Boeing doesn't go bankrupt due to this error because right now they are in serious risk of going under. Such a shame for a company that had such a solid reputation before this incident.

[@grahamt5924]

@Terry Melvin much like the Brabazon it suffered from huge piston engines only just able to do the job; large turboprops reliable enough for civillian use took just long enough the XC-99's market spot was filled with jet aircraft by the time engines for the XC-99 would be ready.

[@simonm1447]

@Terry Melvin The XC-99 still exists, it is now in the USAF museum in Dayton Ohio, to get restored. Only one was built, with the wings and the structure of the B-36, but with a much bigger fuselage. There was plenty of space, they could use only half of it without overloading the aircraft. Unfortunately the Brabazon reminds me a little bit at the A 380, a very luxury aircraft for the passengers, and the biggest passenger aircraft today, now with Corona its future is more unclear than ever, of course the project didn't die like the Brabazon, but it was a economical loss and from the technical standpoint it was obsolete after less than 10 years in production.

[@reality-cheque]

Perhaps the Brabazon was ahead of its time! A modern jet burns 15 tonnes of fuel in the upper atmosphere on EACH Atlantic crossing and there are over 2000 crossing PER DAY! That's some carbon footprint! Imagine a prop driven airliner doing the same journey, carrying the same number of passengers but taking an hour longer and using 60% less fuel. Passenger jets are socially obsolete but the airlines haven't realised that yet.

[@hypersonicmonkeybrains3418]

you clearly dont understand the definition of failure. Now then a failure would be the Russian Tupolev Tu-144 - crashed on a test flight while being delivered, and the passenger fleet was permanently grounded after only 55 scheduled flights. The aircraft remained in use as a cargo aircraft until 1983, by which point a total of only 102 commercial flights had been completed.

[@TheSjuris]

HypersonicMonkeyBrains The Concorde wasn't a complete failure. It also wasn't a success. It was a boondoggle that failed as a passenger aircraft. It didn't have the passenger compacity to compete with the 747 or the cargo capacity. You would be able to carry more cargo in a 737 then the Concorde with the 737 filled with passengers at the same time. You can't fly a plane commercially that can only fly to 4 destinations. Boeing was smart enough to stop it before it was too late. The Concorde was doomed from the start. It was a waste of France and Englands resources.
