Hawker Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hawker Harrier was an experimental biplane torpedo bomber aircraft built to a specification issued in the 1920s. It was a two seater powered by a Bristol Jupiter VIII armed with one Vickers machine gun and one Lewis gun carrying either one torpedo or a maximum of 1,000 lb (~500 kg) of bombs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hawker_Harrier   (98 words)

Hawker-Siddeley Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The RAF Harriers would not see further combat, the Hawker Siddeley airframes would be replaced by the larger Harrier II developed by McDonnell Douglas. 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 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hawker_Siddeley_Harrier   (1961 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/BAE Sea Harrier The RAF's Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR1s had entered service in April 1969. However the Sea Harriers claimed 24 kills with no losses in air combat (two were destroyed in a mid-air collision) and the RAF fleet was free to operate in their primary ground attack role. The Sea Harriers and HMS Invincible, commissioned on July 11 1980, were operational during the Falklands War of 1982. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/BAe_Sea_Harrier   (728 words)

Hawker Harrier G.R.3 The Harrier is a close support aircraft with the primary role of assisting NATO forces in the event of conflict. Harrier, the world's first Vertical Take Off and Landing jet aircraft to enter military service was developed from the original prototype, the P1127 which "flew" a few inches from the ground on 2lst October 1960. The first Harrier to fly was XV276 on the 31st of August 1966, this was one of six development aircraft. www.gatwick-aviation-museum.co.uk /harrier/harrier.html   (401 words)

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. www.britains-smallwars.com /Falklands/harrier.htm   (504 words)

(Hawker Siddeley became part of British Aerospace in 1977) The Hurricane and The Harrier jump jet were constructed and developed at Hawkers larger plant near the junction of lower ham road with Richmond road in Kingston.

Hawker-Siddeley Harrier The Hawker-Siddeley Harrier, however, was the perfect fighter plane for this situation. 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. www.tohokingdom.com /web_pages/aliens_sdf/hawker_siddley_harrier.htm   (221 words)

Tamiya America Item #61026 Hawker Sea Harrier Kit - CO126 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. 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. www.tamiyausa.com /product/item.php?product-id=61026   (551 words)

Hawker Siddeley Harrier (PCB test aircraft) XV798 One Harrier (XV798) was rebuilt to test the concept, with the modified engine in a longer fuselage. Despite some success the PCB approach was later discontinued, and the P1154 was cancelled anyway. Although the aircraft never actually flew in this configuration, it did perform a number of 'flights' in a specially-built test rig. hawkseye.bravepages.com /uk/bac/xv798.htm   (83 words)

IVHS Publications The Hawker Siddeley Harrier is the only VTOL aircraft in the world to have passed through all stages of prototype and pre-series development to series production, and then gone on to serve successfully in the armed forces of several nations. This is the story is as told by the former Hawker experimental test pilot who shared intensively in the project's test and development work for its first ten years, and he bases this account on invaluable and unpublished material from his own archives. It was the culmination of a flight test and development programme which began with a forerunner aircraft, known simply as the P.1127. www.vstol.org /pubs.htm   (867 words)

The Definitive 1/72 Scale Model Census. Aircraft: Harrier. The Hasegawa kits are the most accurate of all the Harrier kits; it's just a shame they have avoided twin-seat variants.

Hasegawa has released all single-seat variants of the Harrier II. www.72scale.com /aircraft/Hawker/Harrier.htm   (998 words)

V/STOL - Psychology Central For instance, the Harrier is incapable of taking off vertically with a full weapons and fuel load, and hence is operated as STOVL wherever possible. V/STOL was originally developed to allow fast jets to be operated from clearings in forests, removing their reliance on damage-prone runways and small aircraft carriers that would previously only have been able to carry helicopters. V/STOL has been replaced by STOVL in popularity because it reduces the amount of thrust required to lift a fully laden aircraft from the ground, and hence allows a greater load to be carried. psychcentral.com /psypsych/VSTOL   (204 words)
