Albatross / D.H.91
de Havilland DH.91 Albatross
Разработанный А. Е. Хоггом в соответствии с требованиями Министерства авиации к трансатлантическому почтовому самолету, DH.91 Albatross имел самую совершенную аэродинамику среди всех коммерческих машин предвоенного периода. Обшивка цельнодеревянного DH.91, представляла собой трехслойную "сэндвич-панель" (фанера/бальза/фанера), в дальнейшем успешно использовавшуюся на Mosquito. Неразъемное крыло имело конструкцию, аналогичную использовавшейся на DH.88. Силовая установка состояла из четырех двигателей Gipsy Twelve, приводивших винты с постоянной скоростью вращения. Основные стойки шасси убирались в крыло с помощью электропривода. Прототип, первоначально имевший два киля, установленных на полуразмахе стабилизатора, поднялся в воздух в Хэтфилде 20 мая 1937 года. Летные испытания выявили недостаточную эффективность вертикального оперения, и машина получила новое оперение, с концевыми шайбами и несбалансированными рулями направления и триммерами.
Проблемы с механизмом уборки шасси привели к аварийной посадке первого прототипа 31 марта 1938 года. Недостаточная прочность хвостовой части фюзеляжа была обнаружена после того, как второй прототип развалился надвое при посадке во время испытаний. Был внесен ряд доработок, и оба отремонтированных прототипа проходили экспериментальную эксплуатацию в авиакомпании "Imperial Airways". Большая дальность полета (5359 км) делала их пригодными для полетов в Исландию, и в сентябре 1940 года самолеты были переданы 271-й эскадрилье ВВС. Пять Albatross, отличавшихся уменьшенной вместимостью, дополнительными иллюминаторами в кабине и щелевыми закрылками вместо разрезных, были переданы "Imperial Airways" в период с октября 1938 по июнь 1939 годов. Вмещавшие 22 пассажира и четырех членов экипажа, эти самолеты использовались во время войны на линиях, соединявших Бристоль с ирландским Шенноном и Лиссабоном в Португалии. После того, как число самолетов сократилось до двух из-за аварий и действий противника, они были списаны в сентябре 1943 года.

De Havilland’s largest and smallest at Hatfield in September 1937. The T.K.4 stands beneath the undercarriage of its step-brother, the Albatross. R. J. Waight made the maiden flights of both these aircraft.
The diminutive 19ft 8in span T.K.4 nestles between the undercarriage of the 104ft 8in span D.H.91 Albatross. Empty, the T.K.4 weighed less than one of the D.H.91's Gipsy Twelve engines. After R. J. Waight was killed flying the T.K.4 Geoffrey de Havilland became chief test pilot.Другие самолёты на фотографии: De Havilland Technical School T.K.4 - Великобритания - 1937

TRANSCENDENT TRANSPORT: Perfection of line and an unsullied exterior combine to convey the impression that this is not an actual photograph but a spurious representation of the Albatross in flight, achieved with the aid of a model. In actual fact, this revealing picture of De Havillands' masterpiece was secured by Flight's photographer near Hatfield last week during a test flight by Mr. Waight.

Aviation Historian 24 / R.Pegram - Imperial Airways. The 1930s: a cause for concern?
With its slender, elegantly curving fuselage, shapely wings and extremely closely cowled streamlined Gipsy Twelve engines, the de Havilland D.H.91 Albatross was the very model of modernity when it entered Imperial Airways service in late 1938. All seven examples were transferred to the newly-minted BOAC in September 1940.

Flight 1938-10 / Flight
Probably the most efficient aircraft in the world, the D.H. Albatross flies at 210 m.p.h. on a cruising output of 1,302 h.p. from the four Gipsy Twelve engines this while carrying a disposable load of 11,638 lb. in the case of the transatlantic version, which is shown here. The range at the same power and loading against a 40 m.p.h. headwind is 2,500 miles.

The prototype D.H.91 Albatross, G-AEVV. Named Faraday, it served with Imperial Airways as a mail carrier from August 1939.
Perhaps the D.H.91 Albatross was Hagg's most beautiful design. Some say that its lines influenced the design of the Lockheed Constellation. -

D.H.91 Albatross G-AFDJ Falcon is seen at Eastleigh. 'DJ was built at Hatfield in 1938 and registered to Imperial Airways in November of that year. Five Albatross operated the Croydon-Paris, Brussels and Zurich routes until the outbreak of war, when all aircraft were evacuated to Bristol Whitchurch whence they operated on the Lisbon and Shannon shuttle services. After three of the fleet were lost in crashes the other two, including Falcon, were scrapped through lack of spares in September 1943.

The supremely graceful de Havilland D.H.91 Albatross was a shining symbol of British progress in airliner design during the 1930s - but the type suffered from structural problems and only seven were built. This example, G-AFDI Frobisher, awaits its next flight at Croydon in November 1938.
