Auxiliary and Ancillary Equipment: Brief Details of Materials, Components and Equipment Produced by a Number of Companies in Support of the Short Belfast Programme

Abstract

THE evolution and basic design philosophy, aerodynamic design, structural design, power plant, systems, interior arrangements, flying controls and automatic landing, reliability, quality control and maintenance of the Short Brothers and Harland Belfast C. Mk. 1 strategic freighter have been dealt with in considerable detail in the preceding eight articles. The object of this final article is to provide further ‘backup’ information especially on the systems side but whereas the earlier articles have dealt with overall systems and philosophies, it is intended here to describe specific pieces of equipment and the contributions made by a number of Companies within the industry to the Belfast programme.
