	Avro Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Avro Aircraft, their first (and at the time, only) division, started operations in the former Victory Aircraft factories in Malton (now embedded in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga).
		A.V. Roe Canada's first design started in 1946 as the Avro CF-100, a large jet-powered all-weather interceptor at the end of the era of propeller-driven aircraft and the beginning of the jet age.
		In 1962, Avro in the UK was purchased by Hawker-Siddeley, in one of a number of ongoing mergers in the UK aviation industry.

	Avro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AVRO is also the name of a Dutch public-service broadcasting organization.
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The older Avro York was somewhat more successful in both the RAF and in commercial service, being distinguished by a fuselage square in cross-section.

	Avro Jetliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The C-102 Jetliner was a prototype medium-range jet airliner built by Avro Canada in 1949.
		However continued delays in Avro's all-weather interceptor project, the Avro CF-100, led to an order to stop working on the project in 1951, and the prototype Jetliner was later cut up for scrap.
		Avro was involved in designing the first dedicated jet-powered night fighter for the RCAF at the time, the Avro CF-100 Canuck.

		Avro was already well advanced on a second prototype.
		Meanwhile, Avro finished the second prototype and began flight tests, using a safety tether, in September 1959.
		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.

	The Avro CF-100 Canuck
		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.
		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.

	Nicole's Arrow Page
		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.
		In September of 1958, Avro had done their own secret assessment of the BOMARC's capability, and came to the conclusions that, because it was extremely vulnerable to carcinogenic jamming, it was dangerous, as well as useless.

		Canada, however, as late as the time of Arrow cancellation, stated that no nuclear Sparrow was possible, and thus the Arrow with the Sparrow 2 would not have a modern, high-potency weapon.
		Floyd’s document proves the US encouraged Canada to take on the weapon, and it seems clear from this document that Easton and/or the RCAF felt that the American encouragement meant that the technology was feasible, and that it was a nice gesture of support for the Arrow programme and Canada’s defence efforts generally.
		Avro didnít want to do this because the Arrow wing had negative camber in the inboard sections changing to positive camber at the tips (with droop for washout to prevent tip stalling and aileron reversal) and planned to use aileron trimming along with elevator trimming to achieve the lowest possible trim drag.

	The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		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".
		However, Canada was in a recession and the Arrow had become the most expensive single defense project the country had ever taken on.

	The Legend of the Arrow
		Although Avro had no part in this program other than accommodating it in the aircraft, this did have a serious effect on the airframe cost.(19) In the end, the program was cancelled in the fall of 1958 and American equipment substituted (Hughes fire control system and Falcon missiles) with a major reduction in cost.
		Avro's public relations department was not successful in countering this campaign or in selling the Arrow to the general public.
		Canada was told in mid July of 1960, just over a year after the cancellation of the Arrow, of the program's delay and work on the two bases in Canada was slowed down.

		James Arthur Chamberlin was one of the major figures in aircraft design in Canada before he moved to the United States and made important contributions to the the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and shuttle programs in his career at NASA and in private industry.
		By the time Avro moved into design and construction of the CF-105 Avro Arrow in the mid 1950s, Chamberlin was Avro¹s chief of technical design.The twin-engined delta-winged supersonic jet interceptor was considered the most advanced aircraft of its time.
		In April, 1959, Chamberlin and two dozen other engineers from Avro Canada were recruited by NASA for the Space Task Group at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
