Description: This photograph captures the second prototype of the Cierva W.14 Skeeter 2, registration number G-ALUF (msn W.14/2), at the 1949 Society of British Aircraft Constructors (SBAC) Farnborough Airshow. The Cierva W.14 Skeeter 2, designed by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva, was a versatile autogyro that boasted improved performance and handling compared to its predecessor. 3. Background: The Cierva W.14 Skeeter was a groundbreaking autogyro that first flew in 1947. The design featured a unique rotor system that provided both lift and thrust, eliminating the need for a separate propeller. The second prototype, G-ALUF, was unveiled at the 1949 SBAC Farnborough Airshow, showcasing several improvements, including a more powerful engine and an enclosed cockpit. 4. Design and Features: The Cierva W.14 Skeeter 2, seen here in its pristine condition, boasted a sleek and modern design. Its enclosed cockpit provided better protection for the pilot, while the more powerful engine allowed for increased speed and agility. The autogyro's rotor system, which was unique for its time, enabled it to take off and land vertically, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including reconnaissance, liaison, and training. 5. Legacy: The Cierva W.14 Skeeter 2, though not commercially produced, paved the way for future autogyro developments. Its innovative design and capabilities showcased the potential of this type of aircraft, inspiring further research and development in the field of rotorcraft technology. This photograph serves as a testament to the groundbreaking achievements in aviation history, captured at the 1949 SBAC Farnborough Airshow.
