Thin-wing Javelin One project that got beyond the drawing board was a supersonic development of the Gloster Javelin , the P370, powered by two BOl.6, 7, or 7SR engines. The design evolved into the P376 with two BOl.21R engines rated at 28,500 lbf (127 kN) with reheat.
Javelin FAW 7s of No. 64 Squadron RAF in 1959. In 1952, the two-seat, delta winged Gloster Javelin was developed as an all-weather fighter that could fly above 50,000 feet (15,000 m) at almost the speed of sound.
