Doch sie war auch mit einer Eigenschaft behaftet, die Piloten das Leben kostete und die die Ingenieure bei ihrem Erstflug kaum verstanden.<\/p>\r\n<p>Breit, flach und mit plattenf\u00f6rmigen Seitenw\u00e4nden verdiente es sich den Spitznamen \"Flacheisen\". Zw\u00f6lf Jahre lang wachte es \u00fcber Gro\u00dfbritannien und seine Grenzen im Kalten Krieg bei Wetterbedingungen, die alles andere lahmlegten.

Doch gerade diese letzte Entscheidung barg einen fatalen Fehler. Bei zu langsamer und zu steiler Beschleunigung wirbelte der turbulente Nachlauf des Deltafl\u00fcgels auf und bedeckte das H\u00f6henleitwerk, wodurch der Pilot die Kontrolle \u00fcber die Nickachse verlor. Das Flugzeug geriet in einen flachen, stabilen Str\u00f6mungsabriss und st\u00fcrzte \u2013 wie ein Testpilot es ausdr\u00fcckte \u2013 wie ein Ziegelstein ab.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>\u201cEs schien, als sei der Javelin in eine Art stabilisierten Str\u00f6mungsabriss geraten \u2013 er sei fast senkrecht wie ein Ziegelstein mit mehr als einer Meile pro Minute und sehr geringer Vorw\u00e4rtsgeschwindigkeit abgest\u00fcrzt.\u201d<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Bill Waterton<\/strong> \u2014 Gloster-Cheftestpilot, Memoiren \"Die Schnellen und die Toten\"<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>Es kostete Menschenleben.
