		Avro Aircraft Canada was a Canadian aircraft manufacturing company, known for their innovative designs, including the famed Avro Arrow fighter.
		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).
		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 Jetliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However continued delays in Avro's night fighter 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.
		On December 10, 1956 the Jetliner was ordered surplussed, and although it was donated to the National Research Council they had no room for storage and took only the nose section for cockpit layout design.

		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		One of the world's first aircraft builders, A.V.Roe and Company was established at Brownsfield Mills, Manchester, England by Alliot Verdon Roe and his brother H.V.Roe on 1st January 1910.
		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.

		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.

	The Avro Arrow
		Avro's mandate was not to be a mere branch-plant operation, manufacturing foreign aircraft under license.
		But Avro encountered difficulty in dealing with TCA and the Department of Transport and, despite considerable interest from Howard Hughes, owner of TransWorld Airlines, and the United States Air Force (USAF), no Jetliners were sold.
		The sole Jetliner, which had been years ahead of its time, was scrapped by Avro in 1957.

		The Jetliner was designed for intercity routes, such as those carrying the bulk of air traffic in North America.
		Avro was ordered to allocate all of its resources to the production of military jets for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
		While the spotlight was on the Comet and the Jetliner, the Seattle-based Boeing Aircraft Co. was busy producing its long-range Stratocruiser propliner for the airlines, and its new, record-breaking B-47 Stratojet bomber for the U.S. Air Force.

	FlightDeck's Aviation Milestones: Great Canadian Aircraft
		The Avro C-102 Jetliner is an aircraft that, despite its good looks and advanced design, never quite got off the ground, at least commercially speaking.
		Yet Avro soon determined that the two military jet engines it wanted for the Jetliner were not being released for commercial use by the British manufacturer.
		Although the only Jetliner that was built was donated to the National Research Council in 1956, the government-run body had no room to store the aircraft and, aside from the nose section (now on display at the National Aviation Museum), the rest of it was scrapped.

		Avro complied, and it flew from Chicago to New York in one hour, 42 minutes, at 459 mph., 200 mph faster than the best fighter planes of the Second World War.
		When the swept-wing jetliners (the 707 and DC-8) came out with their 100+ mph boost in speed and their longer range, that sounded the death knell for the Comet, and I expect it would've done the same to this Jetliner as well.
		The Jetliner was developed without any government involvement but was killed because C.D. Howe believed that the state had the right to decide what private businesses could do with their factories.

		Avro Canada was established as a result of the impressive workmanship on the Lancaster bombers at the Victory Aircraft plant at Malton during the war.
		Avro Canada took over this plant and sent Floyd to head a design team to develop a 30- to 36-seat jet-powered passenger plane for Trans Canada Airlines, the forerunner of Air Canada.
		By 1952, Floyd had become Avro’s chief engineer in charge of all design, testing, research and experimental manufacture and had built up a growing team of experts to develop the CF100 fighter aircraft which served the RCAF and NATO forces and which had been purchased by Belgium.

		Howard Hughes was so impressed with the Jetliner that he wanted to manufacture it under license at Convair and using it on TWA routes, but the U.S. government would not agree to Convair devoting effort and spce to a civil project in view of the Korean crisis.
		The Jetliner never did go into comercial use but was used as the aerial survey and photo platform for the CF-100 project, as orders were never placed, construction on the partially built secont prototype was abandoned.
		On 10 December 1956 the Jetliner was ordered distroyed, and after contacting the National Aviation Museum turned up no interest in obtaining the aircraft due to a lack of space, the Jetliner was cut up on the 13th of December 1956 with only the cockpit section surviving (in the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa).

		Avro's latest success story is the CF-100 "Canuck," a long-range, all-weather jet designed to intercept nuclear-armed Soviet bombers crossing the Arctic Ocean.

		Avro Canada had an unusual mix of forward thinking and conservative execution in their projects.
		In the case of the Jetliner, Avro had suceeded in producing a machine so suited to civilian short haul service, or military training, that they literally had customers in the U.S. lining up to buy them.
		In spite of their prime customer failing to follow through on the commitment to use the Jetliner, Avro would have nothing to worry about, as U.S. firms were more than willing to make use of Canadian inovation.

	1/72 Hobbycraft CF-105 by Justin Davenport
		Avro Canada was a subsidiary of the famous A.V. Roe company in England, and during the fifties Avro Canada was on the leading edge of aerospace technology, with such aircraft as the Avro Jetliner and the Avro Arrow.
		Avro Canada even experimented with exotic concepts like a flying saucer that was supposed to be a replacement for the Jeep.
		The story of how the Avro Arrow came to be and how it came to die is one that I think should be required reading for aerospace industry executives, military generals, and politicians as well as students of history.

		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.

		Indeed, there is no doubt that the creation of aircraft like the Jetliner helped to bring mankind into an age of "air supremacy." In fact, the Jetliner alone bears the distinction of being North America's first jet transport.
		During 1950-51 the Jetliner established several intercity flight records and became a brilliant success in the commercial transport field.
		But perhaps most important, the Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner will best be remembered as the true impetus for succeeding passenger/cargo carrying jet aircraft in Canada's marvelous history of aviation.

		Avro also had started research and development work on a 'flying saucer'-like vehicle, the Avrocar.
		When the prototype failed to perform at heights above three feet off the ground, Avro cancelled the project, never realising that they had actually invented what would later be known as the hovercraft.
