THE CF-105 AVRO CANADA WAS WORKING ON THIS EVEN BEFORE THE CF-100 WENT INTO PRODUCTION .THE R.C.A.F WITH AVRO CANADA WANTED A JET INTERCEPTOR TO COUNTER THE SOVIET UNIONS NEW LONG RANGE NUCLEAR BOMBERS . LIKE THE TUPOLEV TU-16 BADGER-A THE MUCH IMPROVED BOMB DELIVERY PLATFORM OVER TUPOLEV THE M-4 BISON .WHICH WAS CONVERTED FOR MARITIME RECONISANCE. THE ARROW IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES OUR GOVERNMENT HAS EVER MADE .THERE WERE STRONG POLITICAL INFLUENCES INVOLVED THAT MOST CAN'T FATHOM BUT IT IN MY OPINION IT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE THE SPACE SHUTTLE..
THIS IS A SUBJECT A LITTLE OF MY SITE TOPIC BUT I DO HAVE ORIGINAL PHOTOS OF THE ARROW RL-201 AND IT IS AVRO HISTORY ,A VERY BIG PART OF WHAT AVRO CANADA AND ORENDA LTD. COULD HAVE BEEN WITH THE IRIQUOIS JET ENGINE AND THE ADVANCED DESIGN OF THE CF-105 AVRO ARROW..... I PLAN ON LEARNING MORE ON THIS AIRCRAFT IN THE FUTURE... |
