	Harrier, Hawker/BAe
		In forward flight, the harrier is at an advantage compared with fixed wing aircraft in that in the event of stalling, recovery is possible by quickly adjusting the thrust vector and throttle.
		Harrier roles include close air support, reconnaissance, fleet air defence and maritime attack and the aircraft has brought a completely new flexibility to offensive air operations on land and at sea.
		Harrier II Plus is the latest variant of the Harrier, developed as a radar equipped multi-role fighter/ground attack aircraft capable of all weather, day and night operations.

	BAE Sea Harrier - Military and Aircraft Scale Models
		On 30th April, six of the eight Sea Harriers departed Yeovilton to be air-to-air re-fuelled by Victor K.2 tankers en-route to Ascension Island (via Banjul in The Gambia).
		On 6th May, all the squadron's Sea Harriers flew from Ascension Island and landed on board "Atlantic Conveyor", which transferred them to the Falkland Islands.
		Once captured, Stanley Airport had two of the Sea Harriers detached there until the Argentine surrender and the arrival of the first RAF Phantoms on 17th October 1982.

		Jackson, a 5,500 hour veteran of the Harrier, said at the ceremony "It was a great run with the Harrier, I'm going to miss it." The AV-8B is due to be replaced by the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, with full phase-out due around 2018.
		The Harrier T.Mk.4(I) programme comprises the modification of two former RAF Harrier T.Mk.4 aircraft to an Indian Navy configuration, including the installation of Sea Harrier FRS.Mk.51 navigation and cockpit equipment.
		BAE Systems and Thales UK are to work in partnership to design and build two new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy, which will each operate up to 45 F-35B STOVL fighters.

		The BAE Systems FA2 Sea Harrier fighter aircraft, which is in service with the British Royal Navy and the Indian Navy, provides air defence for the carrier fleet, particularly against low-flying attack aircraft armed with long-range air-to-surface missiles.
		The Sea Harrier's anti-ship missile is the MBDA (formerly Matra Bae Dynamics) Sea Eagle, a fire-and-forget sea-skimming missile with active radar homing and a range of over 50 miles.
		The Sea Harrier can carry the MBDA ALARM anti-radiation missile, which can be deployed in direct attack mode, against a radar target, or in loiter mode, where the missile is launched in the vicinity of the threat and waits for the hostile radar to emit.

		In time of war the Harrier was to be deployed away from established airfields, which were vulnerable to attack.
		RAF Harriers were deployed to the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Hermes, as part of the Task Force sent to recapture the Falklands Islands.
		The Harrier GR3 performed attack sorties from the aircraft carrier, and later from basic landing strips on the islands, often in conditions that would have grounded conventional aircraft.

	BAE Sea Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sea Harriers were to operate in their primary air defence role, with the RAF Harrier GR.3 expected to act as attrition replacements for the Sea Harriers.
		However the Sea Harriers claimed 22 kills with no losses in air combat (two were lost to ground fire and four in accidents) and the RAF fleet was free to operate in their primary ground attack role.
		Yet the conflict was a resounding vindication of the Sea Harrier's abilities: aside from their 100% record in air to air combat, no other fixed-wing carrier fighter in history could have taken off from a carrier in the extreme conditions in the South Atlantic in which the Sea Harriers operated.

	[2.0] First-Generation Harriers / Sea Harrier
		The Harrier was a unique aircraft that offered capabilities and challenges no combat pilot had ever been given before, and so a two-seat conversion trainer version, the "Harrier T Mark 2", was ordered in 1967 in order to assist new pilots in adjusting to the type.
		The Harrier is not regarded as "bad" aircraft, just a "unique" one because of its unique capabilities, and is generally flown by the most experienced pilots who are given extensive training to convert to the type.
		The Sea Harrier was a welcome arrival for the Royal Navy's combat aircraft pilots, since the RN's last fixed-wing combat aircraft, the BAE Buccaneer and their Spey-powered Phantoms, had been retired the previous December.

	Hawker-Siddeley Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harrier GR.3 featured improved sensors, countermeasures and a further upgraded Pegasus Mk 103 and was to be the ultimate development of the 1st generation Harrier.
		The later model Harriers are easily distinguished by their extended wingspan, the wings extending beyond the outrigger wheels that are at the wingtips of the earlier versions (including Kestrel prototypes and the Sea Harrier).
		The Harrier is capable of vectored-thrust maneuvers, in which the thrust nozzles are rotated beyond 0 degrees in forward flight for the purpose of decreasing the loading of the wing, and thusly, increasing instantaneous and sustained turn performance in the horizontal plane.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: BAe F/A.2 Sea Harrier Details
		Despite the success of the Sea Harrier in the Falklands, many Royal Navy officers realized they had been lucky, since the Shar had taken on a task it hadn't really been designed for, and much of the type's success was due to the superlative AIM-9L missile.
		One was a scheme known as ""nozzle inching"" or ""nozzle nudging"" that allowed a Sea Harrier pilot to perform limited adjustment of the nozzle position using the airbrake switch on top of the throttle, reducing the ""three-hand"" workload in STOVL flight.
		The ""R"" for reconnaissance was dropped as the Sea Harrier had never really been used or fitted for that mission, the Royal Navy having never bothered to obtain a reconnaissance pod for the type.

	British Aerospace Sea Harrier
		A unique feature of Sea Harrier operations at the time was its ability to launch from a 'ski-jump', a ramp fitted in the bow of the ship.
		On 28 February 2002 it was announced that the Sea Harrier would be retired, and that Joint Force Harrier would 'migrate' to the Harrier GR.Mk 7 and 9 until replacement by the Future Joint Combat Aircraft (Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter) in about 2012.
		The premature retirement of the Sea Harrier (the youngest airframe was less than 8 years old) is a calculated risk that leaves a yawning gap in fleet air defence until the F-35 finally arrives.

	Harrier II
		The Harrier began life as a purely British aircraft, but when identified by the US Marine Corps, as a plane which had the potential to fill their needs for close air support, and virtually immediate response for beach head response, it was clear they had to have the Harrier.
		Initially going it alone, the purely American Harrier II redesign ran headlong into American politics and was saved by an agreement for British participation in the programme and cancellation of it's own plans for redevelopment.
		The Harrier II is capable of carrying 70% more external ordinance, has improved target accuracy, 50% more internal fuel, 400% more external fuel, and had reduced maintenance man hours by 60% over the Mk.

		The Harrier II is an extensively modified version of the first generation Hawker-Siddeley Harrier GR1/GR3 series which first flew in December, 1967.
		The primary air-to-air missile (AAM) of the Harrier is the AIM-9 Sidewinder using its infrared homing device (the combination of Harrier and Sidewinder proved effective against Argentinian Mirages in the Falklands conflict), but does not carry the medium range AIM-120 AMRAAM missile.
		With the retirement of the Sea Harrier it has been suggested that its Blue Vixen radar could be transferred to the GR9 fleet however the Ministry of Defence has rejected this as risky and too expensive.
