Hendy 302

The Hendy 302 was a British twin-seat cabin monoplane designed by Basil B. Henderson and produced by George Parnall & Company Limited at Yate in 1929.

The Hendy 302 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailskid landing gear, powered by a 105 hp (78 kW) Cirrus Hermes I engine.

[3] While almost every structural element of the aircraft was composed of wood, there were exceptions; these included the landing gear, engine mounting, and a small number of metal fittings elsewhere.

[1] The legs of the landing gear, which had a relatively wide track, were telescopic and were fitted with spiral springs that functioned as shock absorbers and dampened bouncing.

[4] The engine cowling was somewhat unusual, the upper surface having been equipped with scoops that, via tubing, directed air onto the hottest parts of the cylinder heads.

[4] Specifically, the two primary spars were I-section beams that were built up of a single central web of three-ply; these met with rectangular-section strips on each side that formed the flanges.
