Handley Page Halifax byl čtyřmotorový těžký bombardér používaný za druhé světové války britským RAF (Královským letectvem).V rámci RAF tyto letouny používaly i perutě složené z personálu pocházejícího z britských dominií – perutě 6. skupiny RAF (složené z Kanaďanů) a australské perutě číslo 460, 462 a 466 (ty operovaly v rámci 4. skupiny RAF). A Handley Page Halifax egy négymotoros, szabadonhordó középszárnyas bombázó repülőgép-típus volt, kettős függőleges vezérsíkkal (első repülés: 1938. október 25.).

The Mk II Series I (Special) achieved improved performance via the removal of the nose and dorsal turrets. Other candidates for the specification included the Avro 679, and designs from Fairey, Boulton Paul and Shorts; all were designed around a two-engine installation, using the Rolls-Royce Vulture, Napier Sabre, Fairey P.24 or Bristol Hercules. The Halifax Mk I Series III featured increased fuel capacity (1,882 gal/8,556 L), and larger oil coolers, the latter of which having been adopted in order to accommodate the Merlin XX engine.

Defensive armament consisted of two .303 in (7.7 mm) The Halifax Mk.I was quickly followed by 25 of the Mk I Series II; these featured an increased gross weight (from 58,000 lb/26,310 kg to 60,000 lb/27,220 kg) but with maximum landing weight unchanged at 50,000 lb (23,000 kg). 387–388.Barnes, C H: Handley Page Aircraft since 1907, London 1976, pp. Accordingly, during April 1937, the Air Ministry ordered two prototypes of each design.During July 1937, Handley Page was instructed to redesign the HP56 to use a four-engine arrangement, instead of the original twin-engine configuration; by this point, the Vulture had already been suffering from reliability and performance problems.Towards the end of the year, a full mock-up of the design was assessed; production of a pair of The first prototype was built at Handley Page's facility in On 17 August 1940, the first flight of the second prototype, Series production of the Halifax began at Handley Page's factory at Cricklewood and at Handley Page built the assemblies and components at Cricklewood and the aircraft were assembled and flown from The sizeable production run envisioned required the involvement of several external parties in addition to Handley Page.The Halifax was produced in large numbers during the war: of the 10,018 heavy bombers produced in Britain between 1940 and 1944, 4,046 were various models of the Halifax – in excess of 40%.The first production standard Halifax, the Mk.I, had a 22 ft (6.7 m) long bomb bay as well as six bomb cells in the wings, providing a bomb capacity of 13,000 lb (5,900 kg). Of the 6,176 Halifaxes built, only three complete planes remain. Most of these engines were under development. However, these variants were produced in relatively small quantities.The remaining variants were the Halifax C Mk VIII, an unarmed transport that was fitted with an 8,000 lb/3,630 kg cargo pannier instead of a bomb bay, which could accommodate a maximum of 11 passengers and the Mk A IX The Handley Page Halifax was a mostly orthodox design, a mid-wing The Halifax was powered by four engines, two spaced evenly on each wing.The bomb aimer's position was in the extreme nose with the navigator's table located behind it, both roles fulfilled by the same crew member.
