	Homage to the Avro Arrow
		The Avro Arrow was a twin engine, supersonic interceptor developed in the late 1950's by the Avro Aircraft company of Malton, Ontario, Canada.
		The Arrow was the follow on to Avro's first military design, the highly succesful CF-100 Canuck, a twin engine all weather interceptor sold to the Royal Canadian Air Force (600+) and to Belgium (53).
		The Avro company had whet its teeth building the C.102 Jetliner (the first jet airliner to fly in North America), the CF-100 Canuck, and the AvroCar.

	FlightDeck Milestones: Avro Arrow
		Before giving the green light to Avro, the RCAF sent a top level evaluation team to assess all the countries in the Western alliance to find out if anyone was working on a craft that met their requirements.
		While Avro's Gas Turbine Division (later to become Orenda Engines) was working on the powerful Iroquois engine that was to be used on the Mark 2 series, test flights went underway using an interim engine, the Pratt and Whitney J75 engine.
		Avro was instructed to immediately halt all work, and to destroy all prototypes and plans.

	Background
		Avro Canada was in an excellent position to hire the best engineering minds in the world, as the end of the war released huge numbers of engineers onto the international job market.
		Avro’s first project was to be a jet transport aircraft for Trans Canada Airlines, later known as Air Canada.
		Instead, Howe proclaimed, Avro was to concentrate fully on producing the CF 100 Canuck jet fighter, designed to protect the vast northern wastes of Canada from the advance of Soviet nuke-carrying long range, high-altitude bombers coming in over the Arctic icecap.

	Avro Information (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The Royal Flight of the United Kingdom bought a few and a variant with a rear-loading ramp and a "kneeling" main undercarriage was sold to the RAF and several members of the Commonwealth as the Andover, named after a town in Hampshire.
		When the company was absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation in July 1963 the Avro name seemed to have disappeared forever but the brand had such a strong heritage appeal that the marketing name "Avro RJ" (regional jet) was applied to the British Aerospace 146 from 1994 to 2001.

	Avro 748 Information
		The Avro 748 was a small short-range turboprop airliner designed by Avro in the late 1950s as a replacement for the now-aged DC-3's then in widespread service as feederliners.
		Avro concentrated on performance, notably for STOL operations, and found a dedicated market and 380 aircraft were built.
		The Vickers Viscount had the large end of the short-haul market neatly wrapped up, so Avro decided to design to a smaller feederliner design to replace the many DC-3 Dakota's that were now reaching the end of their lifespan.

	Avro C-91
		Avro concentrated on performance, notably for STOL operations, and found a dedicated market and was eventually produced to 380 examples, second only to the Vickers Viscount.
		Avro was not the only company to see the potential for a DC-3 replacement, and by this point the Fokker F27 Friendship was well advanced.
		Avro decided to compete by producing a design with better short-field performance, allowing it to operate from smaller airports.

	AVRO RJ
		The Avro RJs have together with its predecessor the BAe 146 become known as "The Regional Jets of Choice" because of their high appeal to service-conscious airlines and their passengers.
		Following on from the success of the BAe 146, the Avro RJ was built between 1993 and 2003, achieving 170 sales with the final four aircraft being delivered in October/November 2003.
		The Avro RJ is operated by or on behalf of many operators worldwide and flies in the colours of major airlines and their regional partners including: British Airways, Lufthansa, Northwest, and THY.

	Avro 707
		The origins of the Avro 707 are intertwined with those of the Avro Vulcan.
		For various reasons, the early Avro 707s took too long to reach the flight test stage, and consequently their direct contribution to the Type 698 Vulcan programme was comparatively small.
		However, the Avro 707 family of research aircraft gave British aircraft designers early confidence in the general handling characteristics of the delta-wing, which lead to its adoption on other aircraft types (several of which where cancelled in 1957), and some of the systems tested found a direct application on other military aircraft programmes.

	The Avro Arrow
		Avro expected the Arrow to break all world speed records once the Iroquois was installed.
		Avro president Crawford Gordon goes on the defensive, taking to the airwaves to reassure the public – and Arrow workers – that this does not mean the Arrow program is cancelled.
		Avro's greatest asset is the team of top-notch engineers it has assembled from across Canada and around the world.

	Avro RJ Regional Jet - Aerospace Technology
		The Avro RJ transport jet and the Avro Business Jet variant were developed from the BAE 146 short to medium range regional airliner.
		The Avro RJ family of aircraft was built at the BAE Systems Regional Aircraft Centre at the historic Avro Airfield at Woodford in England.
		The typical routes for regional jets are between 450 and 900km but the low fuel consumption and increased range of the Avro RJ result in the aircraft being in regular operation on routes over 3,000km.

	Avro-Canada VZ-9AV Avrocar
		n 1952, Avro Aircraft Ltd., a Canadian firm located at Malton near Toronto, began to develop a unique, supersonic fighter-bomber aircraft that could takeoff and land vertically, cruise at low altitudes on a cushion of air (also called ground effect) or accelerate to high speeds at higher altitudes.
		Avro had named it Project Y but the U. Department of Defense labeled it Weapon System 606A.
		The motion was unique and needed a name so Avro called it "hubcapping." Hubcapping occurred when the cushion of air supporting the aircraft close to the ground became unstable.

	Avro Skin Care complexion tablets
		The research and Development team at Avro Skin Care & Natural Health have taken this concept very seriously and have done years of study and developments in the field of supplementation to aid skin clarity to give skin the youthfulness of its years it deserves.
		It is not by chance that Avro chose the route originally to persue Skin care and Natural Health as their main functionality, we had done our homework back then realizing that the two go hand in hand.
		Skin and hair go hand in hand and as an example it is now widely known that greying of the hair is due in part to a lack of P.A.B.A (Para-aminobenzoic acid) in the body as we age.

	Avro RJX Regional Jet - Aerospace Technology
		The Avro RJX was the latest development of the successful Avro RJ and BAE 146 family of aircraft.
		The Avro RJX family was available in three sizes, 70, 85, and 100-seat capacity versions with different cabin lengths but complete engineering and operational commonality.
		The Avro RJX was intended as a follow-on to the successful BAe 146 / Avro RJ family of four-engined regional jets.

	Avro Vulcan
		The world's first delta-winged bomber to reach operational service, the Avro Vulcan was one of the cornerstones of Britain's nuclear deterrent during the height of the Cold War.
		A short while later, an additional order was placed with Avro for the development of the Type 707 series of research aircraft.
		The Avro 707 was intended to investigate the low and high speed characteristics of delta wings, for application to the 698 design.

	PROJECT 1947: AVRO's Saucer - Silver bug: CSI-NY News Letter#11 7/15/59 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As early as 1954, the anonymous European author of one version of the “V-7” or “Nazi saucer” yarn wove the Avro saucer into his tale; he informed his readers that the V-7's creator, “Dr. Heinrich Richard Miethe,” was at that time in Canada, reconstructing his wonderful craft under the auspices of A.V. Roe (Avro).
		When (and if) the Avro saucer finally flies in public, we may expect to see many editors come up with this fatuous “now it's all explained” reaction.
		The emphasis on flying close to the ground, however, probably reflects confusion between the Avro craft and several “ground effect” devices that were shown to the House Space Committee on April 13, 1959.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Aircraft Museum - Vulcan
		To meet this challenge, Vickers, Avro, and Handley Page were each called upon to develop bombers for the Royal Air Force culminating in the Valiant, Vulcan, and Victor.
		Avro opted for a delta wing design in its model 698, the Vulcan, second of the triad to enter service.
		As the B.1 began entering service as a high-level bomber, Avro began development of an improved B.2 with an enlarged wing, revised control surface arrangement, in-flight refueling capability, and lengthened fuselage.

	The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		Of the postwar aircraft produced by Avro Canada, the most important was the Avro "CF-100 Canuck", a big twin-engined straight-winged jet interceptor.
		In April 1953, after a year of analysis by Avro, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) presented a requirement for a twin-engined, two-seat interceptor with a maximum speed of Mach 2, a maximum ceiling of 18.3 kilometers (60,000 feet), and a combat radius of 370 kilometers (200 nautical miles).
		The Avro team originally selected the new Rolls-Royce RB.106, but development of that engine was delayed in turn, and the Pratt and Whitney J75, used on the Republic F-105 Thunderchief and Convair F-106 Delta Dart, was chosen to power the preproduction prototypes, which were designated "Mark 1".
