Supermarine Type 553 (1953)In the mid-20th Century, Britain's Supermarine Aviation Works was one of the U.K.'s most successful aircraft manufacturers, having been the company behind one of WWII's most successful fighters, the legendary Supermarine Spitfire.. In the post-War years, Supermarine struggled to maintain its supremacy, with little success. Among its "paper" projects was a Mach 2 research jet, the Supermarine Type 553. The plane, with a cylindrical body and extended nose that called to mind the Douglas D-558-1 "Skystreak," never got beyond the proposal stage.
