Development

Entwicklung

 

 The Bristol Type 175 Britannia was a British medium-to-long-range airliner built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1952 to fly across the British Empire. By the time development was completed, "pure" jet airliners from France, United Kingdom and the United States were about to enter service, and consequently, only 85 Britannias were built before production ended in 1960.   Die Bristol Type 175 Britannia war ein britisches Mittel- und Langstrecken-Flugzeug, das 1952 von der Bristol Airplane Company gebaut wurde, um das britische Empire zu ersschliessen. Zu der Zeit, in der die Entwicklung abgeschlossen war, waren "reine" Jet-Airliner aus Frankreich, Grossbritannien und den USA im Dienst, und folglich wurden nur 85 Britannias gebaut, bevor die Produktion 1960 endete.
