Design work began at A. V. Roe in 1947 under Roy Chadwick, however, the delta wing design built upon the wartime work of Professor Alexander Lippisch, and the first design studies featured a radical tailless delta wing design. The Air Ministry specification B.35/46 required a bomber with a top speed of 575 mph (925 km/h), an operating ceiling of 50,000 ft (15,000 m), a range of 3,452 miles (5,556 km) and a bomb load of 10,000 lb (4,500 kg); intended to carry out delivery of Britain's nuclear-armed gravity bombs to strategic targets within Soviet territory. Design work also began at Vickers and Handley Page. All three designs were approved – aircraft that would become the Valiant, the Victor, and the Avro Vulcan. Avro Vulcan (wallpaper 2).

The Type 698 as first envisaged by Chadwick, and upon his death in the crash of the Avro Tudor 2 prototype on 23 August 1947, later refined by his successor, Stuart Davies in March 1949, was a more conventional delta wing design initially with tail surfaces at the ends of the wing and finally with a "full" tail unit. Avro felt this would be able to give the required combination of large wing area and sweepback to offset the transonic effects and a thick wing root to embed the engines. The thick wing gave considerable space for the engines and made allowances for future larger models to be installed. Wingtip rudders provided the control instead of the traditional rear fuselage and tail, which were unnecessary on this design. This design was reworked multiple times to reduce weight, a restriction which was later loosened, and became more conventional, adopting a centre fuselage with four paired engines and a tail.
