       The CF-100 was a big, twin-engined long-range all-weather fighter.
       It had a low-set, straight wing, and additional lift was supplied
       by large fairings between the fuselage and the engine nacelles. It 
       could be dived at supersonic speeds. The armament consisted of
       eight 12.7mm guns in a ventral pack, or 48 rockets in a similar pack,
       plus two wing pods with 29 missiles each. 699 were built; 53 were
       sold to Belgium. The last were retired in 1981.

       The CF-105 was a delta-winged, big, fast interceptor. The
       production aircraft would have had 11700kg Orenda Iroquois
       engines, but the prototypes were powered by the far less
       powerful J75. The Arrow was a very promising aircraft, but was
       cancelled for political reasons, together with the Iroquois
       engine and the Sparrow 2 missile. Six built.
