The Avro Vulcan is an all electric aircraft. This means that should it suffer from total electrical failure it would be uncontrollable and would crash.

In order to prevent this the designers incorporated a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) which could be deployed by the crew in the event of electrical failure.

The RAT is a small generator which although not powerful enough to be used to power all the aircrafts systems would be able to provide enough power to allow the captain and co-pilot to control the aircraft for an emergency landing.

Truly A Useful Gadget!!

Thanks to all who voted for the Rat.

Oops indeed!
My mistake - but it looks like the fates have been kind to me.
Hope all members will forgive me.

Not too early to say congrats, eh? :-D

Peter Waites 22-03-15 09:50

Not too early by any measure Graham - thanks. I actually voted for the calipers - very attractive image IMHO.
