Vickers Wellington vs. Warwick

[Aeroweanie]

Its been established that the design of the Vickers Warwick is closely related to that of the Wellington.

The best information I can find for the Wellington is that the root airfoil was the "NACA 24 (17.7%)" while the tip airfoil was the "NACA 24". I don't know for certain if the root airfoil was the NACA 2417.7, but I suspect so. I have no further information on the tip airfoil.

Has anyone been able to find information as to whether the wing of the Warwick used the same aerofoils as the Wellington?

I cannot say for certain whether or not these two had the same wing profile, but it is likely. Both were very much designed complementary to one another on the production line, enabling a sharing of resources and speeding up of production. Both used the same structural elements to create the Geodetic framework, just that the Warwick had extra frames and wing ribs to increase fuselage length and span respectively. Both aircraft were designed to be complementary in service, too, the Warwick was designed as a heavy bomber utilising more powerful engines that were being promised at the time.
