De havilland heron cockpit

What is a heron plane? A total of 1were built, and it was also exported to about countries. Initial Heron production aircraft also featured fixed undercarriage (unlike the retractable gear Dove).

Intended for ‘outback’ operations into airfields with minimal facilities, the Heron Mk. But the four engines and constant speed airscrews gave it good short-field capability.

A third type, the DH114- can be emulated by making the landing gear inoperable.

Initial flying was carried out with a tailplane having no dihedral, this being replaced by a dihedral unit after some 1hours of test flying. With these, if an engine fails in flight the propeller blades turn so that the air hits the edge instead of the flat of the blade, offering less resistance and putting less of a strain on the plane.

THE DE HAVILLAND HERON SERIES The Heron is a natural design development of the twin-engined Dove and much use is made of similar structures and ancillary equipment. Comet wing, but also for a short time on the Heron wing as it was being enlarged from the Dove wing and redesigned for four engines.

The Dove and also featured a smooth upper canopy line, similar to that adopted for the DH1Heron. Dove aircraft were delivered to the RAF for communication duties as the Devon C. Friend of mine owned a Heron a few years back, but with the original engines, I believe.
