The Miles M.20 was a Second World War British fighter developed by Miles Aircraft in 1940. It was designed as a simple and quick-to-build "emergency fighter" alternative to the Royal Air Force's Spitfires and Hurricanes should their production become disrupted by bombing expected in the anticipated German invasion of the United Kingdom. Due to the subsequent shifting of the German bombing effort after the Battle of Britain towards British cities in what became known as The Blitz, together with the dispersal of British fighter manufacturing, the Luftwaffe's bombing of the original Spitfire and Hurricane factories did not seriously affect production, and so the M.20 proved unnecessary and the design was not pursued.

  • Miles M.20 byl britský celodřevěný jednomístný jednomotorový dolnoplošník s pevným kapotovaným podvozkem ostruhového typu. Byl zkonstruován v létě roku 1940 jako výrobně nenáročný lehký stíhací letoun, který by ve výzbroji Royal Air Force doplnil stroje Hawker Hurricane a Supermarine Spitfire, pokud by nastal jejich nedostatek. Jelikož po britském vítězství v bitvě o Británii taková situace nenastala, k sériové výrobě typu nedošlo. (cs)

  • Il Miles M.20 fu un prototipo di aereo da caccia monoposto che l'azienda aeronautica britannica realizzò in due esemplari tra il 1940 e il 1941. Progettato per massimizzare l'economicità e la rapidità di produzione onde far fronte alle perdite subite dalla Royal Air Force durante la Battaglia d'Inghilterra, si rivelò superfluo al termine di questa; anche una versione imbarcata fu infine giudicata non necessaria, e la produzione in serie non fu dunque intrapresa nonostante le buone caratteristiche dell'aereo.

  • マイルズ M.20（Miles M.20）は、1940年にイギリスのマイルズ・エアクラフト社が開発した第二次世界大戦時の戦闘機である。爆撃により生産を阻害されるであろうイギリス空軍のスーパーマリン スピットファイアとホーカー ハリケーンの代替となる簡素で生産の容易な「緊急戦闘機」として設計された。ドイツ空軍の爆撃に対して生産施設を分散することによりスピットファイア機とハリケーン機の工場が受けた被害は甚大なものとはならず、M.20の必要性は薄れて計画はキャンセルされた。 (ja)
  • Miles M.20 – prototypowy, brytyjski lekki myśliwiec zaprojektowany i wybudowany w wytwórni Miles Aircraft pod koniec lat 30. XX w. Maszyna miała być tanim i prostym w budowie samolotem zdolnym do działań defensywnych. Sprawność brytyjskiego przemysłu lotniczego podczas wojny, którego produkcja zapewniała całkowite zapotrzebowanie Royal Air Force na samoloty myśliwskie, spowodowała jednak, że tania alternatywa do samolotów Supermarine Spitfire i Hawker Hurricane przestała być potrzebna.

  • Die Miles M.20 war ein britisches Jagdflugzeug des Herstellers Miles Aircraft im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Der Jäger war für eine einfache Fertigung konstruiert. Das bedeutete z. B. festes Fahrwerk, keine Hydraulikbauteile und die Verwendung von Standardbauteilen anderer Miles-Flugzeuge, sowie die weitgehende Verwendung von Holz. Die Flugleistungen sollten trotzdem konkurrenzfähig sein. Die M.20 wurde in 67 Tagen konstruiert, gebaut und geflogen. Der Erstflug erfolgte am 14. September 1940. (de)
  • Le Miles M.20 est un avion militaire britannique, de type avion de chasse, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale développé par Miles Aircraft en 1940. Il a été conçu comme un « chasseur d'urgence » simple et rapide à construire pour compléter les Spitfire et Hurricane de la Royal Air Force si leur production devait être perturbée par les bombardements de la Luftwaffe prévus pour la préparation de l'invasion allemande de l'Angleterre. En raison du déplacement ultérieur de l'effort de bombardement allemand après la bataille d'Angleterre vers les villes britanniques dans ce qui est devenu connu sous le nom de Blitz, ainsi que de la dispersion de la fabrication de chasseurs britanniques, le bombardement par la Luftwaffe des usines Spitfire et Hurricane d'origine n'a pas sérieusement affecté leur produ (fr)
