The Miles M.52 was a turbojet-powered supersonic research aircraft project designed in the United Kingdom in the mid-1940s. In October 1943,Miles Aircraft was issued with a contract to produce the aircraft in accordance with Air Ministry Specification E.24/43.
The programme was highly ambitious for its time, aiming to produce an aircraft and engine capable of unheard-of speeds of at least 1,000 miles per hour during level flight, and involved a very high proportion of cutting-edge aerodynamic research and innovative design work.
