@Mk1Male I designed an airplane once. It would have been fast, but it never left the drawing board. I don't expect it to get credit as an airplane, especially as one that was "faster than anything ever built".

@CitrusAnarchy I hope you are joking.

Well, the Tiger moth actually flew and is still flying. This never did.

Amen

@Mk1Male The Lightning was actually an airplane, unlike the Vickers 559, which was just an idea that was not developed. The point here is that proposals do not count as if they are worthwhile.

@Mk1Male LOL. That's not quite what I said, but go ahead and twist it any way you like if it makes you feel better. The Vickers 559 was obviously not worthwhile, as proven by history, but many in the comments here are drooling over it as if it changed the course of aviation. Hilarious.

@Mk1Male The Concord was an actual airplane, not a mere design proposal that never left the drawing board, so it is hardly an example that supports bestowing credibility on a proposed design like the Vickers 559. I'm not changing my reasoning, you just can't accept it, so just move on and have a nice day.

@Mk1Male You're hilarious. I express an opinion that is a value judgement rather an objective fact, and you decree that I'm "wrong". You want "evidence". Get real, there is no evidence. You can have a different opinion, but you don't get to make up rules of evidence when you disagree with my value judgement. What the hell would your evidence be? That's right, you have no evidence, you just have an *opinion*. Can you accept that it's "wrong"? You really make me laugh. But I've had enough of being lectured at the 5th grade level, so have a nice day.

It wasn't faster than anything. It never existed.

You never heard of it because it was never an aircraft. It was just a design, like many others that never made it off the drawing board.
