The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet, developed by de Havilland, was a fighter aircraft driven by two piston engines. It further exploited the wooden construction techniques that had been pioneered by the de Havilland Mosquito .
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 33.00 ft (10.1 m) span wing has a wing area of 220.0 sq ft (20.44 m 2). The Hornet has the largest wing area and lightest wing loading of any ultralight of its period.

DH.87A Hornet Moth retaining the original tapered wing design. Wetaskiwin, Alberta, June 1996. The prototype first flew at Hatfield on 9 May 1934 and, with two other pre-production aircraft, embarked on an extensive test program that resulted in the first production aircraft (designated DH.87A) completed in August 1935 having wings of greater outboard taper.
de Havilland Aircraft Pty Ltd (DHA) was an Australian subsidiary of the British aircraft manufacturer de Havilland, founded in 1927. [1] It acquired the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation in 1985 and was purchased by Boeing in 2000 and merged with the Boeing owned AeroSpace Technologies of Australia (formerly Government Aircraft Factories) to become Hawker de Havilland Aerospace Pty Ltd.
The de Havilland DH 108 "Swallow" was a British experimental aircraft designed by John Carver Meadows Frost in October 1945. The DH 108 featured a tailless, swept wing with a single vertical stabilizer, similar to the layout of the wartime German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet.
In comparison to the DH.3, the proposed aircraft, which was designated DH.10, shared a broadly similar configuration but was slightly larger. [5] While also equipped with twin engines, more powerful Siddeley Puma engines, each capable of generating up to 230 hp (170 kW), were adopted for the aircraft in a pusher arrangement.
