The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow One of the finest achievements in Canadian aviation history, the delta wing Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was never allowed to fulfill its mission. ... A source of national pride, the Arrow incorporated advanced technical innovations and became a symbol of Canadian excellence. The Mark 2 production version of the arrow, powered with two Avro Canada Iroquois turbo jet engines, would have been capable of achieving Mach 2 with full military load. ... --------------- The Avro Arrow The Avro Arrow was one of the worlds finest aircrafts. ... Even though the Arrow project was scrapped,and many of the design team of the Avro Arrow moved on to work on NASAs space program and other aircraft design teams, Canadian Aviation still flourished as shown through the aircrafts that Canadian companies produce. CBCs movie The Arrow,(starring Dan Aykroyd,) tells us the story of this plane twenty years ahead of its time. ---------- Introduction: This project is dedicated to the prototype MkII version of the Avro Arrow number 206, which actually never had the opportunity to take to the skies, as the Canadian Conservative government under John Diefenbaker decided to cancel the Arrow Project on "Black Friday" (February 20, 1959), due to financial and political reasons (still misunderstood to this day).
