	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.
		Avro's designers had the advantage of all of this research, as well as being able to avoid the debate to a large degree.

	The Avro CF-100 Canuck
		Avro Canada then proposed a "CF-100 Mark 8" that would carry long-range missiles and feature improved radar and new engines, but the Canadian government had already selected the the US McDonnell F-101B Voodoo as their next-generation interceptor.
		Avro Canada, which had been established by the British Hawker Siddeley group in July 1945 through purchase of the Victory Aircraft plant, got the formal contract to develop the new aircraft under AIR Spec 7-1 in October 1946.
		Since Avro Canada's test pilots didn't have fast jet experience at the time, first flight honors were performed by Bill Waterton, a Canadian who was the chief test pilot of the British Gloster firm, which was part of the Hawker Siddeley group.

	Sparring Partners by Don Connolly
		An Avro CF-100 "Canuck", known affectionately to its crews as the "clunk", completes a practice intercept on a B-36 of the USAF's Strategic Air Command, somewhere over mid-Canada in the 1950s.
		Avro Canada's next design, the CF-105 "Arrow", was to have replaced it in squadron service with a production run of 500 planned.
		In the 1950s and 1960s over a dozen RCAF front line squadrons were equipped with this capable machine and it remains the only Canadian designed and manufactured interceptor produced in strength.

	Pearkes and the Avro Arrow
		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.

	Interceptor Rex --- The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		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.
		Employees were sent home, and were told that Avro could not garantuee them a job in the future.

		Avro's CF-100 was the first Canadian indigenous jet fighter design, and first flew in 1950 [19].
		The latter had a delta wing platform much like the Avro Arrow, which Jan was to fly later.
		In 1953 AVRO Canada started the design studies for a new high performance supersonic interceptor.

	Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: Avro CF-100 Canuck
		The Avro CF-100 was the last Canadian designed and built fighter to enter service, fulfilling the role of all-weather interceptor.
		In service for over 30 years, the Avro CF-100 (known as the "Clunk") twin engine interceptor, was one of Canada's greatest aviation success stories.
		Shown here are the Avro CF-100 Canuck, affectionately known as the "clunk" the Canadair F-86 Sabre, and the Canadair CT-33 Silver Star.

	Avro CF-100
		AVRO was in the process of developing a modern jet engine to be called the ORENDA, and a pair of these were to power the new fighter, now known as the CF-100.
		The task to design such a machine fell to AVRO CANADA, evolved from Victory Aircraft, AVRO's Canadian subsidiary during the war.
		What was needed was a long-range, twin-jet, all weather interceptor, with a two man crew, capable of operating under extreme climactic conditions.

		One of the finest achievements in Canadian aviation history, the delta wing Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was never allowed to fulfill its mission.
		The Mark 2 production version of the arrow, powered with two Avro Canada Iroquois turbo jet engines, would have been capable of achieving Mach 2 with full military load.

	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.
		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".
		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).

	Jan Zurakowski
		Since Avro was at the time trying to sell a transonic redesign of the CF-100 (the C-103), some Avro executives did not see it that way at the time.
		Contrary to the impression left by the CBC mini-series on the Avro Arrow, Jan Zurakowski was a part of the Avro team long in advance of either the Arrow, or Jack Woodman (who was a fine man and excellent pilot).
		The loss of Avro's only Vulcan at this stage in its development may well have resulted in the cancellation of what became a fine aircraft, and the longest serving of the "Victory" series bombers.

	Avro CF-100 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avro CF-100 "Canuck" was a Canadian jet fighter used during the Cold War.
		It was the first RCAF jet fighter designed and built in Canada, and also the last since its successor the CF-105 Arrow was judged too costly for Canada and the program terminated before the planes could be produced in series and put in service.
		Canada has a very low population density, so the air force bases are few and far apart.

	The Floyd Avro Arrow Lecture
		More recently, he had been known for his work on the Avro CF-100 interceptor and for the Avro Arrow, which made its first flight in March 1958.
		So far us, the tailless delta had distinct virtues, with the added advantage that Avro Manchester had, by that time, done considerable flying with the 707 delta research aircraft, prior to the design of the Vulcan tailless delta bomber, and this information was, of course, available to us.
		Floyd became a naturalized Canadian in 1950 and in the same year was the first non-American to receive the Wright Brothers Medal, which was awarded for his contributions to aeronautics, including his design of the Avro Jetliner.

	CF-101 Voodoo - Psychology Central
		After the cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow project in February 1959, George Pearkes, the Canadian Minister of National Defence officially maintained that the existing Avro CF-100 interceptors and the Bomarc missiles that had been ordered in September 1958 would be adequate for Canada’s air defense needs.
		Unofficially, it was recognized that there was still a bomber threat, and discussions had been underway since before the formal conclusion of the Arrow program concerning the RCAF acquiring an "off the shelf" interceptor from the United States.
		They were manufactured by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri for the United States Air Force (as F-101s), and later sold to Canada.

		Depicted on this First Day Cover is an Avro, Canada CF-100 much like the machines still in use today by the Royal Canadian Air Force for electronic warfare training.
		A total of five variations of the CF-100 were produced -- Mark 1, the original test and development aircraft; Mark 2, a dual trainer without armament; Mark 3, the first fighter with guns; Mark 4, the second fighter with guns and rockets; and Mark 5, a high-altitude fighter with extended wings.
