The British flying wing

share with you some photos, including a rare photo with markings of the Royal Air Force, of the experimental airplane Armstrong Whitworth AW-52. If the plane had entered service during World War II would have helped to anticipate the end of the conflict? Visit the link below, see the photos and answer on this question.

Best Regards.

A quick check shows that it only made its first flight in 1947. So whether it would have made a difference in WW2 would be like asking if B-47's would have hastened the end of the war (which also first flew in 1947.) Aside from that, from what I read, the A.E.52 was never intended for military applications.

Correct, it was purely a research aircraft, never intended as an operational type.
