  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.

 Review of the game Harrier Jump Jet
Harrier Jump Jet is a very detailed flight simulator of the RAF's Harrier GR7 and the US Marine Corps' AV-8B using a - for its time - very innovative gouraud shading technology to create more realistic looking objects and landscapes.
With excellent graphics, flight dynamics, and campaign options, Harrier Jump Jet is highly recommended to all armchair pilots, and especially to fans of Digital Integration's Tornado.
Developed by the UK division of MicroProse, Harrier Jump Jet is a great addition to the company's long list of classic flight-sims.

  Hawker-Siddeley Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harrier GR.3 featured improved sensors, countermeasures and a further uprated 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).
Harriers and AV-8Bs are simulated in the computer flight simulators AV8B Harrier Assault (Amiga), Janes ATF Gold, Harrier Jump Jet, US Navy Fighters and in addons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (PC MS-DOS and Windows).

 Harrier II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harrier II is a family of second generation vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet aircraft of the late 20th century.
They were developed from the earlier Hawker-Siddeley Harriers, are primarily used for light attack or multi-role tasks, and are almost all operated from small aircraft carriers.
The Harrier II is also notable in history as an example of U.S.-U.K cooperation and of Cold War defense achievements.

Harrier IIs from the United States Marine Corps flew hundreds of close air support and interdiction missions during Operation Desert Storm from forward airstrips close to the Saudi/Kuwait border which could not be used by other, conventional attack aircraft.
Harrier Jump Jet A fighter flying at 500 knots and very low is fairly commonplace; but when that same aircraft decelerates to a standstill and starts flying backwards, hovering like a helicopter before landing vertically on a tiny patch of ground, it takes on a different perspective.

 The British Aerospace Jump Jet Harrier, downloadable from Fiddlers Green
Helicopters apart, the Harrier was the only aircraft that Britain could deploy in its bid to liberate the Falkland Islands and their inhabitants.
Although the Sea Harrier is perfectly capable of vertical take-off, it normally uses a ski-jump' take-off ramp to increase mission capability.
As the Harrier reaches the end of the ramp, sloping at 70 to I 50 (depending on the installation), the nozzles are suddenly vectored 500 downwards, hurling the aircraft into the sky while still accelerating it horizontally.

 The Royal Air Force - Equipment   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When required, the Harrier can also be fitted with a pod fitted with cameras to provide reconnaissance of the target and battle areas.
The first Harriers entered RAF service in 1969, making the RAF the first in the world to use its revolutionary vertical take-off and landing abilities which allow the aircraft to fly in and out of areas close to the battlefield that would normally be off-limits to conventional aircraft such as the Tornado.
The current versions of the Harrier are the pilot-only GR7 (which is being upgraded with more powerful engines and electronic systems to become the GR9) and the two-seat T10 which, when not used as a training aircraft, can also be used in combat.

 FlightSim.Com Review: Harrier Jump Jet
The aircraft is optimized to low level operations at subsonic speeds, however, the Harrier is ideally suited to medium level operations where it can utilize the highly accurate ARBS or Angle Rate Bombing System which employs a TV and laser dual mode tracker.
One of the advantages of flying a fast jet is the HUD display, and we feel this to be a mistake leaving such a vital piece of instrumentation out.
However, flying into the airport at night certainly surprises with an area of apron supposedly ‘floodlit.’ It is however a section of concrete textured to a brilliant white color, and does not represent a floodlit area well at all.

But the Harrier, piloted by Flight Lieutenant Pete Keenlyside, the 2006 Harrier display pilot, ultimately just beat the Audi to the 1km by literally a "nose" before the jet took off in a spectacular vertical climb.

With Allan McNish at the wheel of the exact Le Mans race winning R10 and a Harrier jet on an adjacent runway, the race was a one-kilometre sprint in front of 5,000 people near Peterborough on a Family and Friends day at the base.
However, while the jet's slower start allowed the R10 to reach 150mph quicker, Flight Lieutenant Pete Keenlyside was soon able to unleash its capability and reeled in the Audi to beat it by just one tenth of a second before spectacularly taking off into a vertical climb.
Nonetheless, despite not being able to quite oust the jet, McNish insists that the closeness of their tussle is indicative of how advanced TDI power has become recently.
