First flight for 'flapless' plane
28 September 2010 Last updated at 19:48 GMT
Engineers at BAE Systems in Lancashire have developed the world's first ''flapless'' plane, which uses jets of air to control its movements rather than the flaps on its wings.
The revolutionary prototype of the new Demon plane has just made its maiden flight on Walney Island, off the Cumbrian Coast.
