Bristol 188 is a British experimental aircraft designed in the late 1940s by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. It was notable for its innovative use of a delta wing configuration, which provided improved aerodynamic efficiency and stability at high speeds. The aircraft was intended for research purposes, particularly in the field of supersonic flight. The Bristol 188 was powered by two Bristol Orpheus engines and featured a sleek, futuristic design. Although it was never put into mass production, the aircraft contributed valuable data to the development of future supersonic jets and influenced subsequent designs in the aviation industry.
