	Hawker-Siddeley Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harrier continues to serve today as the Harrier GR.Mk 7 and GR.Mk 9 and AV-8B which are built by BAE Systems and Boeing.
		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).

	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Harry George Hawker (1889 - 1921)
		Harry George Hawker, the second son of a Moorabbin flsmith of Cornish blood was born in a small rented terrace cottage in Wickham Rd., on January 22, 1889.
		Hawker believed that in England he would soon learn to fly and the young man of scarcely 22 years of age left his native shores hoping of success in the new sphere and perhaps at the same time wondering if he was doing the right thing.
		Harry Hawker was employed as a mechanic with the small Sopwith company and scarcely had he been placed on the payroll when he began lessons in flying as a pupil of Sopwith, his employer.

	Harrier, Hawker/BAe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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 is an extensively modified and updated version of the Harrier GR3/AV-8A Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) close air support aircraft, allowing even greater tactical deployment.
		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.

		The Harrier was developed by Hawker as a private venture in the UK during the 1950s and 60s.
		First vertical take off a prototype that was to become the Harrier was achieved in October 1960 and nearly a year later flight transition from hovering to forward wing borne flight was achieved.
		The brilliance of the design was made very clear during the 1982 Falkland conflict where both navy sea Harriers and RAF Harriers were heavily used against the Argentinian forces both air and ground.

	Harrier War
		The British Aerospace (Hawker Siddeley) Harrier and Sea Harrier were the main reason that the British Task Force in the South Atlantic was able to operate without being totally destroyed by the Argentine fighters and their Exocet missiles.
		Developed from the Kestrel by Hawker Siddeley, the Harrier brought to the RAF the ability to operate from locations which did not have the absurdly obvious target of a massive concrete runway and hardened aircraft shelters.
		The Harriers' principal weapons in the Falklands were rocket pods and free fall bombs, which it used in support of the ground forces and in strikes against Argentine positions.

	[2.0] First-Generation Harriers / Sea Harrier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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 USMC Harrier was externally identical to the Harrier GR.1.
		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.

	[1.0] Harrier Origins
		John Fozard recalled that Hawker's first jet fighter, the Sea Hawk, had a single engine with a split exhaust, and it wasn't too much of a stretch to think that such a feature could be incorporated into the BE.53, with the twin exhausts rotating in sync the forward exhausts.
		Of course, Hawker could place no real weight on such assurances, since in the political climate a senior RAF officer who proposed a new manned aircraft was likely to be asked to hand in his uniform, but it seemed that if the winds changed direction, support would be forthcoming.
		Hawker was given an "Instruction to Proceed" on the construction of new aircraft for the TES on 22 May 1962, but the company asked for a delay, since their current round of testing was suggesting new features that would result in a much better aircraft.

		Still in use in the year 2084, the Harrier was one of the only machines that the human race could utilize to battle the extra-terrestrial civilization known as the Daggra.
		Due to the fact that the remaining humans were forced to take shelter in the mountains of Tibet, a problem would arise for most aircraft, due to the inadequate environment for takeoff and landing.
		The Hawker-Siddeley Harrier, however, was the perfect fighter plane for this situation.

	AV-8B Harrier
		When the Harrier II was first flown in the fall of 1981, 21 years had elapsed since the original Hawker P.1127 first hovered in untethered flight.
		Initial US involvement with the Harrier began in 1957 when Hawker’s revolutionary design was met with disinterest by the British government and a lack of government funding to proceed into development.
		The Hawker design team responded with the P.1154, a configuration with twice the thrust, twice the speed, twice the weight, and twice the performance of the P.1127.

		The production Harriers utilized either a Pegasus 6 or 11 engine of 8000 or 9750kg thrust and it was only natural that the Royal Navy should find application for this type of aircraft with their fleet air arm.
		The Sea Harrier (FRS.1) has about 30% more re-action control for easier landings, and better 'over the nose' visibility; however, the GR3's from the RAF worked well in the overall operations during the conflict and both aircraft distinguished themselves to the utmost.
		The Royal Navy Harriers, during the conflict, were painted in the new "toned down" finish of matte sea blue overall, while the RAF aircraft were in the extra dark sea gray scheme.

		In the 1920's and 30's he designed for Hawker a series of biplanes that were elegant expressions of the biplane format.
		The Hart's success put Hawkers in the front line of aircraft manufacturers and its design was used by Camm as a basis for aircraft to meet other requirements.
		The Hawker Hurricane was by far the most numerous of British combat aircraft from the outbreak of war in 1939 until well into 1941, and bore the brunt of the RAF's early battles with the Luftwaffe over France and Britain.

		Although this is a fairly common measure now, the Harrier was one of the first aircraft to incorporate the scheme because, in hovering mode, blasting off the canopy itself would have thrown it straight up, for the pilot to eject right into it.
		In tactical exercises, the Harrier squadrons break into three flights each and disperse to the countryside, where they go into hiding among the trees and under camouflage nets, with rubberized fuel storage tanks some distance away.
		Fleet carriers had to be kept well at sea for their own safety, but Harriers could fly from smaller assault ships just offshore, or from rough landing sites behind the battle lines, to provide rapid strikes for ground troops.

		The Harrier has become famous as the world's first vertical take-off and landing strike fighter, ever since the prototype Hawker P.1127 flew in 1960.
		The United States placed an initial order for 12 Harriers under the designation AV-8A but this proved so successful that the order was increased to 110, including eight two-seaters.
		VMA-231 'Aces' was the first US Marine Corps Harrier squadron, formed on the 15th May 1973 at Cherry Point, North Carolina.

		The Hawker Harrier had a long evolution from the P1127, through the Kestrel, to today's AV-8B based aircraft.
		The original Harrier was bought by the RAF, US Marine Corps and the Spanish Navy.
		McDonald-Douglas partnered with British Aerospace (which had merged with Hawker) to build the AV-8A, and ultimately lead the development of the AV-8B, a much larger aircraft, the basis for the current Harrier GR-5.

		Whereas the Kestrel embodied about 50% of the structure of the P.1127, the Harrier was in many respects a new aircraft re-engineered around the more powerful Pegasus 101 engine.
		The new type was the result of USMC pressure for a more capable aircraft, building on experience with the early Harrier (AV-8A); McDonnell Douglas was contracted to work on the new type in 1978.
