ML UTILITY AIRCRAFT.
In
1955 ML Aviation at White Waltham designed and produced a portable
flying machine called the ML Utility ML.1 given the serial number
XK776,the aircraft featured an inflatable rubberised fabric wing and
quick release fittings enabling the aircraft to be rigged and de-rigged
fairly quickly.
Despite
evaluation by the British Army Air Corps at Middle Wallop further
production was not taken up,the flight characteristics were unusually
slow and the machine was then stored until saved by the Army Air Corps
museum.
With
the advent of the lightweight helicopter perhaps the practability of
the ML design were outweighed,however the company continues to produce
many ancillary products for the aviation industry.
