Template:Lowercase title

The de Havilland T.K.5 was a British single-seat canard experimental aircraft from the 1930s, conceived and constructed by pupils at the de Havilland Technical School, which never achieved flight.

Design and development

Constructed between 1938 and 1939 at Stag Lane Aerodrome, the T.K.5 was a low-wing monoplane powered by a single 140 hp (104 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major IC piston engine configured to drive a pusher propeller.[1] The sole example, bearing the registration G-AFTK, underwent ground tests overseen by Geoffrey de Havilland in 1939; however, it was unable to become airborne and was subsequently dismantled.[1]
