Developed by Hawker Aircraft in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the P.1127 was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of a V/STOL aircraft powered by the innovative Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine. This engine directed thrust through rotating nozzles, allowing the aircraft to transition from vertical lift to horizontal flight. The success of this concept marked a significant breakthrough in military aviation technology.Although the P.1127 itself did not see combat, its development was closely tied to the Cold War context, where NATO sought flexible and survivable aircraft capable of operating from unprepared airfields. The P.1127 was evaluated by both the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United States, leading to the refinement of the design into the Kestrel and eventually the Harrier. These aircraft would go on to see extensive service in multiple conflicts, including the Falklands War and the Gulf War, validating the importance of V/STOL capabilities in modern air combat.The P.1127 was tested in a variety of conditions to prove its versatility and potential for battlefield operations. While it did not engage in direct conflict, it played a vital role in laying the groundwork for a new class of combat aircraft. Its success ensured that the Harrier, derived from the P.1127, would become one of the most iconic and widely used fighter jets of its era, particularly by the British, American, and other NATO forces.This 1:72 scale model commemorates the groundbreaking aircraft that revolutionized jet aviation. Its detailed craftsmanship makes it an essential piece for collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike, celebrating the origins of the legendary Harrier and its role in shaping modern military aviation.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
