Re: Avro "X-Wing" VTOL Jet Fighter Proposal for USN (1956)
Oh,come now!
Canada put up a 'flying saucer' design and the 'Arrow' supersonic fighter as well as the first jet powered airliner. This on a background of other excellent more conventional designs and the improvement of things like the Sabre when Orenda
powered and the Britannia which begat the CL-44 and Aurora. Canada is perfectly
capable of producing anything! Its just a shame that it is overwhelmed by a mighty
neighbour!
Interesting design nevertheless.
