EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the Flying Testbed B2 Canberra WK161, a groundbreaking aircraft of the late 1950s, adorned with the innovative NSc D1-2 Double Scorpion rechargeable booster rocket. The image, taken in 1957, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in aviation history as engineers pushed the boundaries of flight technology. The Canberra, a versatile British jet bomber, was manufactured by English Electric and was renowned for its long-range capabilities. However, in this instance, WK161 was transformed into a flying testbed, paving the way for advancements in aviation and rocket propulsion. The addition of the Double Scorpion rocket, developed by Napier, represented a significant leap forward in altitude reach and transport capabilities. The Double Scorpion was a reusable, liquid-fueled booster rocket, which was designed to provide an extra thrust during takeoff, allowing the aircraft to carry heavier loads or reach higher altitudes. The rocket was mounted under the wing of the Canberra, and its distinctive shape and powerful engines make for a striking visual contrast against the aircraft's sleek body. As the world continued to explore the possibilities of air travel and space exploration, the Flying Testbed B2 Canberra WK161 and the NSc D1-2 Double Scorpion rocket played a crucial role in pushing the limits of what was thought possible. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity, perseverance, and pioneering spirit of the engineers and innovators who shaped the future of transportation and aviation.
