Airspeed As10 Cheetah Constant Experimental Fitted Oxford Propellers Radials Rotol Speed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the experimental Airspeed AS10 Oxford III, specifically the P1864 model, during a pivotal moment in its development. The AS10 Oxford III was a groundbreaking aircraft designed and manufactured by Airspeed Limited in the late 1930s. This particular aircraft was fitted with innovative Cheetah XV radial engines and Rotol constant-speed propellers, which significantly enhanced its performance and speed capabilities. The Cheetah XV engines were a development of the well-known Cheetah X engine, known for their reliability and power output. The constant-speed propellers, manufactured by Rotol, were a significant improvement over the fixed-pitch propellers of the time. They allowed the aircraft to maintain optimal propeller efficiency at various speeds, resulting in increased power and improved fuel efficiency. The AS10 Oxford III was initially designed as a transport aircraft, but this photograph captures it during its experimental phase. The aircraft's sleek design, with its streamlined wings and fuselage, is evident in this image. The AS10 Oxford III was a significant step forward in aircraft technology, paving the way for more advanced designs in the future. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation, highlighting the innovation and ingenuity that drove the development of new and improved aircraft. The AS10 Oxford III, with its Cheetah XV engines and Rotol constant-speed propellers, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of transport aircraft and continues to be a source of inspiration for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
