The Royal Aircraft Establishment ( RAE) was a British research establishment, known by several different names during its history, that eventually came under the aegis of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), before finally losing its identity in mergers with other institutions. The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 is a British biplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. It was developed at the Royal Aircraft Factory by a team consisting of Henry Folland, John Kenworthy and Major Frank Goodden. It was one of the fastest aircraft of the war, while being both stable and relatively manoeuvrable.

The Factory grew from the Army Balloon Factory that had been at Farnborough since 1905. Ministry of Supply, Royal Aircraft Establishment, 1946-1959 (Also known as) Date: 1918-1988. History: In 1918, the name of the Royal Aircraft Factory was changed to the Royal Aircraft Establishment. The establishment was initially the responsibility of the the Ministry of Munitions before passing to the Air Ministry in January 1920.

The story of the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough, forerunner of the World's premier aeronautical research establishment wherein were designed a diversity of aircraft including many of. The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 ("S.E." for "Scout Experimental") was designed from the outset as an aircraft with a "green" pilot in mind. Additionally, care in the design of the aircraft was taken to make sure it was a platform that was fast enough to produce in some number. This is a 360° walk-around introductory video to the Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a -- one of Britains best fighter aircraft of World War One.This example is a. During World War I several types of aircraft engines were designed and developed by the Royal Aircraft Factory, a government facility located in Farnborough, England, previously known as the HM Balloon Factory. The first of these was the RAF-1, development which began in 1913. It was an air-cooled V-8 engine based on the Renault V-8, but with.

The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 is a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War that was designed and produced at the Royal Aircraft Factory. It was also built under contract by Austin Motors, Daimler, Standard Motors, Siddeley-Deasy and the Coventry Ordnance Works . was installed as the Superintendent of the Army Aircraft Factory and began to gather the best scientists and engineers and bring scientific methods to the design and testing of aeroplanes. Renamed the Royal Aircraft Factory (RAF) in April 1912, it designed, built and tested aircraft, engines and aircraft systems throughout WW1.
The Royal Aircraft Factory (R.A.F.) was responsible for the design of most Royal Flying Corps aircraft in the early years of the First World War. Originally established to experiment with observation balloons, the Factory began to design its own aircraft early in 1911, although official permission to do so didn't come until late in 1913. The Royal Aircraft Factory's B.E.2 two-seat biplane scout gave exceptional service during World War 1 (1914-1918) despite having originated as early as 1912. About 3,500 of the type were taken into service and the aircraft generally received praise for her part in the war. Her design was such that the last B.E.2 was not retired until 1919.

The Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a was one of the best allied fighters of the war - but a complex and difficult aircraft to build. The problems presented ranged from an extremely complicated trim mechanism, numerous variations of built-up wing ribs, an exposed main fuel tank, and even an emergency water/fuel tank that forms the leading edge of. In 1912 the Royal Aircraft Factory (formerly the Army Aircraft Factory) produced the BE.2 with a 52 kw (70 hp) Renault engine. This led to the BE.2a with an improved fuel system and other improvements. The BE.2 series was designed by Frederick M Green and Geoffrey de Havilland.
