Avro Arrow - Canadian Supersonic Legend Onsie

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow stands as a marvel of Canadian aviation history, embodying the pinnacle of innovation and aerodynamic design during its era. Operational in the late 1950s, this supersonic interceptor was developed to address the growing Soviet bomber threat during the Cold War. With its delta-wing configuration, the Arrow was capable of achieving unmatched speeds and altitudes, setting new standards for aircraft performance. Its development was a source of national pride, showcasing Canada's technological prowess on the global stage. However, the Arrow's journey was abruptly halted in 1959, when the project was controversially cancelled, leading to debates and discussions that continue to this day. The CF-105 remains a symbol of what could have been, representing both the peak of Canadian aerospace engineering and a poignant reminder of its untimely demise.
