	Avro Arrow
		The Avro CF-105 Arrow was a tail-less[?] delta-wing interceptor aircraft, designed and built by Avro Canada during a short period of time in the 1950s.
		Avro objected to this choice on the grounds that neither of these pieces were even in testing at that point, whereas both the MX-1179 and Falcon were almost ready to go.
		Although the Arrow was not the first plane to use such a system, it was one of the first, and the concept had not yet developed into the science it is today.

	Avro Arrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The A.V.Roe CF-105 Arrow was a delta-wing interceptor aircraft, designed and built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by Avro Canada during a short period of time in the 1950s.
		Avro objected to this choice on the grounds that neither of these were even in testing at that point, whereas both the MX-1179 and Falcon were almost ready for production.
		Although the Arrow was not the first plane to use such a system – the Arrow used this system for all three axes, other aircraft did not – it was one of the first, and the concept had not yet developed into the science it is today.

	Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: Avro CF-105 Arrow Mk.1
		Arrow 25203 first flew on 22 September, 1958 and exceeded the speed of sound on this maiden flight, sustaining a speed of Mach1.2.
		The Avro Arrow was one of the world's most advanced airplanes in its day, considered by many to be twenty years ahead of its time.
		Avro Arrow 201 flew 25 flights between 25 March, 1958 and 19 February, 1959 for a total of 25:40 hours out of a grand total of 70:30 hours flown by all five completed Arrows.

	FlightDeck Milestones: Avro Arrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The fascinating rise and demise of the Avro Arrow is a chronicle of triumph and tragedy for Canadian aviation.
		The Arrow was to be a twin-engined aircraft with a crew of two, a supersonic interceptor to destroy any enemy threat in the next decade or beyond, and was expected to fulfill a grueling performance specification issued by the RCAF in 1953.
		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.

		The AVRO ARROW was cancelled by the Diefenbaker government on February 20, 1959, a day that soon came to be known as "Black Friday".
		Avro Arrow CF-105 Following several studies of Canadian air defense needs at the end of the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1953, issued specifications for a supersonic all-weather interceptor aircraft with flight characteristics surpassing anything previously flown in the western world.
		Avro Aircraft Ltd. of Malton Ontario devoted its design team to the project and one year later submitted a proposal for a delta winged aircraft powered by new Canadian designed and built engines, the Orenda Iroquois.

	The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		The Arrow was a huge, twin-engined delta-winged interceptor that in completion would have been able to attain Mach 2.5, but costs and changing mission requirements kept it from ever leaving the prototype stage.
		The high costs of the Arrow are given by some as a compelling reason for the government to cancel the aircraft, while others maintain that costs were inflated by unrealistic assumptions.
		There is little doubt that the Arrow would have been a magnificent aircraft, and it was certainly a shame the Iroquois-powered prototypes never flew, but on the same coin it is apparent that the program was extremely ambitious and risky.

	The Avro Arrow
		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.
		Though the Arrow was an expensive plane, critics of the cancellation later argued that development could have been completed for the cost of the cancellation fees alone.
		Arrow books and movies are being written, replicas are being built, and parts of the plane are turning up after years of concealment.

		Avro Canada was created in December 1945, when the British Avro acquired the National Steel Car factory that had been building its Lancaster bombers during WWII.
		For all purposes, the Avro Arrow had remained one of the greatest 'night have beens' of the aviation industry, competing only with the BAC TSR.2 strike aircraft.
		The Arrow was hailed as the definitive interceptor, and the projected future versions were intended to fly faster and higher, to carry even more expensive electronics, and to be more effective in killing bombers.

		The Arrow was created to replace the CF-100, which had been Canada's front line fighter for a number of years, and the RCAF believed that with the Cold War at hand, the frontline fighter should be changed to meet the new threats.
		Even while Avro was looking at the specifications that the RCAF needed for their new interceptor, and coming up with a design that would meet them, some members of parliament thought that it would still be best if the CF-100 was replaced with an existing aircraft, preferably one to be purchased from the United States.
		Avro also said that if they were to produce and deliver 100 aircraft with the even cheaper, but almost as good MA-1 fire control system, they could reduce the unit price even more, to $3.75 million, and would be able to produce four aircraft in the same amount of money the government allotted for one.

		Avro's post-war achievements included the CF-100 jet fighter (1950), which served Canada in NATO for a decade, and the Avro Jetliner (C-102) which flew in August 1949; this was the first jet airliner in North America.
		he Avro Arrow (CF-105) supersonic, twin-engined, all weather interceptor, began development in 1949 and was accepted by the Liberal government in 1953 as the eventual replacement for the Avro CF-100.
		After the Arrow, the Canadian government was to purchase American fighters and install the problematic, and soon defunct, Bomarc system.

	THE AVRO ARROW CF-105 JET FIGHTER
		The Avro Arrow was definitely a part of Canadian aviation and how Canada was perceived by the United States and the world.
		The Avro Arrow, also designated the CF-105, was an outstanding aviation accomplishment on the part of the A.V. Roe Canada Limited and the Canadian aviation industry as a whole.
		The Arrow was cancelled in 1959, mere weeks before it was to have engaged in speed trials which would likely have shattered the former speed records held by American designed jet aircraft.

		Design of a supersonic interceptor with the parameters of the Avro Arrow presented colossal engineering problems which were systematically overcome.
		Eventually, the Arrows would fly to Mach 1.98 (approximately 1,300 mph), although they were never pushed to their performance limit.

		The museum has an Arrow throttle control, a scale model of the Arrow (which was taken from the AVRO plant after Black Friday) and a Velvet Glove Missile.

		The RCAF wanted the Arrow to be able to reach the stratosphere (50,000 feet), to beat the American's speed of Mach 1.3 by placing a minimum of Mach 1.5.
		The Arrow would be a bomb and missile carrier and would be boarded by a pilot and a shooter/navigator.
		The Arrow project was conceived by the Louis St Laurent government (Liberal) and in 1957, Canadians elected a conservative, John Diefenbaker who's plans for Canada were different.

		The Avro Arrow was ahead of its time and if it was updated with today's electronics' and weapon's packages would be a front runner in the world for a multirole aircraft.
		There have always been rumors that one of the Arrows survived the destruction and if this is true then it has to be one of the world's best kept secrets.
		The dramatization in the CBC's The Arrow, opens our minds as to why the Arrow was killed, but even though the Arrow Project was scrapped, and many engineers went on to other programs in the States and Canada, Canadian aviation still flourished as shown through the aircraft that Canadian companies produce.

		The CF-105, or Avro Arrow as it was known, was a supersonic jet interceptor developed by A.V. Roe of Canada.

		To be equipped with a state of the art fire control system and the Orenda PS 13 Iroquois engine, the Arrow would meet and even surpass the exacting standards set by the RCAF.
		Over the next seven years, the project was beset by a series of technical setbacks that increased the cost of the aircraft.
		This cancellation led to the loss of 14,000 jobs as well as to the need for Canada to purchase nearly obsolete Voodoo interceptors from the United States three years later to do a job that everyone in the industry believed that the Arrow could have done better.
