The Miles M.35 or Miles Libellula (from Libellulidae, the taxonomic name for a family of dragonflies) was a tandem wing research aircraft built by Miles Aircraft as a precursor to a proposed naval carrier fighter.
The M.39B Libellula (from Libellulidae, a taxonomic family of dragonflies) was a Second World War tandem wing experimental aircraft built by Miles Aircraft; a scale version of the M.39 design proposed by Miles to meet Air Ministry specification B.11/41 for a fast bomber.
Designed by Peter Grushin at the Moscow Aviation Institute (hence the MAI designation), the aeroplane featured an unusual tandem wing, with the tail planes as large as 45% of the wing area.
Inspired by Henri Mignet's Pou-du-Ciel design with its distinctive tandem wing layout, Croses set out to develop a similar aircraft to be powered by a single-cylinder motorcycle engine of around 6 kW (8 hp).
