EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from July 1926, the Avro 557 Ava, registration number N171, takes center stage in the New Types Park at the Royal Air Force (RAF) display at Hendon. The Avro 557 Ava was a significant milestone in aviation history, marking the first monoplane design produced by the Avro Company. The sleek and modern monoplane, with its distinctive rounded wings and open cockpit, was a sight to behold. Its innovative design was a departure from the biplane configurations that dominated the skies at the time. The Avro 557 Ava was powered by a Rolls-Royce Falcon engine, which delivered impressive power and performance. The Avro 557 Ava made its first flight on May 21, 1925, and was an instant success. It set numerous speed records and was praised for its handling and stability. The Avro 557 Ava was also used for training purposes, and several were sold to private owners for personal use. This photograph captures the Avro 557 Ava in its prime, surrounded by other aircraft in the New Types Park at the RAF display. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovation and excitement of the early days of aviation. The Avro 557 Ava paved the way for future monoplane designs and solidified the Avro Company's reputation as a leader in aviation technology.
